That's absolutely possible on osm, in fact new roads are often on OSM before they reach Google maps

Google Maps gets really bad in rural areas, I was shocked on a recent trip in Washington state at how bad their maps are. They seemed to have half the businesses in town on the map, but the roads were inaccurate, missing, and sometimes just plain wrong.

OSM comparatively was of much higher caliber, which was surprising.

My estate is 3 years old. Google has no mention. Apple is incorrect. Openstreetmap is accurate since the day each road was opened up.
