Google Maps is finally asking the right question. I've been demanding this for five years.
For those not from round here: Indian bike riders frequently take mud roads or disallowed paths (such as pedestrian walkways). Google Maps learns these routes from bikers and tries to send cars along the same routes.
Which is not to say that car drivers in India don't violate traffic rules. But differentiating between two and four wheeler traffic will greatly improve the Maps product.
