Small issue with google maps

Follow till google ask u to take U turn and go to other side, deep inside the dark road.

Follow that dark road curve and in end merge on right main road instead of going left as per google, which is blocked entrance.

Once on main road keep driving towards the same way point posted above and my car is on should with right indicator on

After crossing my car, take right and metal barrier will open automatically.
