Lo ideal sería que consultes su duda en el foro de ayuda de google maps, actualmente el algoritmo puede retrasar la publicación de algunas opiniones (positivas o negativas) debido al control de spam que ejerce en las publicaciones.

It isn’t easy to know why. I don’t think anyone gets all their added roads approved. Last month I got many roads accepted very quickly, but this month most are just showing as pending.
Among many posts from @ErmesT about Road Mapping, perhaps you can take a look at the tips in this one 3000+, and counting. My tips for adding roads in Google Maps

Hello @Sathyavikasjain,
from my own experience and what I was reading in many comments here in Connect tells me:
- many road edits are not approved,
- Goggle will never tell us why!
Anyway, you find excellent information on how to improve the approval rate in @MortenCopenhagen’s series of articles: Tips for Road Editors mini-series Index:

Hi @tagliaficojuan , and sorry for being late on your reply.
It is not a good idea to write a post about two separate issues all together, because each one should be analyzed separately. In nay case, let see what we can do
Hidden reviews:
The help community would not help you in this, other than addressing you here in Connect.
Unfortunately I can’t access your profile, so I can’t see how many hidden reviews you has. In any case, let see what we can do. First of all, you should consider that reviews are checked for inappropriate contents. A review can be made private (hidden to the public views) because the content of the review is considered inappropriate by the filter, or simply because one of the attached media is considered inappropriate.
When this happens to my reviews, I normally proceed as follow:
- I remove the medias and I publish the review again. If the review is published, I attach the media one by one, to find the one that is triggering the filter.
- If after removing the medias the review isn’t published I check carefully to see if there are possible violations of the Maps user-generated content policy, I correct a bit my review and I post it again
- If after that the review is not published, I fill the appeal form for the team to check it. Normally after a couple of months the reviews are release, and made publicly visible again. For more details you can read An update on how we moderate Google Maps reviews
Editing Roads
Please check the post shared by @tony_b (Thanks Tony). The post will give you several tips about how to add roads to have them approved, in base of Relevance and simplicity. Can you kindly share some link in Google Maps for us to check the area where you added your rejected roads? In this way we could give you some more detailed tip
