It doesn't look like CC-BY-SA is a limiting factor to google:

Maybe google is feeling a little intimidated by all the announcements
of new roads turning up on OSM as soon as construction finishes!
In this case they've jumped the gun and show dual carriage way where
it's still under construction:

It would be more useful to know what created the traces also, some

able to weight the tracks rather than treat them all as equal.
