This, I believe, should be MD 7, however, I can't actually confirm that, since all my maps I have don't have any insets for Havre De Grace (understandably, it's a pretty small town). Google says 7A, but this shield says otherwise. OSM also confirms that this should probably be MD 7.

7A is technically correct, but yes, any map that's not intended for internal MDSHA use should label it as 7.

Google Maps shows three disconnected segments of Houston's Grand Parkway which in this case isn't open yet.

Wait, what?! Just the southbound lane of MT 3 is marked from 1st Ave S to the I-90 interchange at Exit 450?! That's just effed up. Both the northbound and southbound lanes should be marked.
Finally upgraded to Expressway after, what, seven or so years on this forum? Took a dadgum while, but, I made it!

The selection tool in Map Maker only allows for selecting a single continuous path. If the road splits into separate one-way segments, those pieces have to be submitted as separate edits. If you submit one big edit for one direction of road (say, MT 3 from US 12 to I-90) and a bunch of smaller edits for the opposite-direction one way parts, Google's reviewers will often deny the smaller pieces, because they apparently don't notice that there's a big edit that the smaller ones go along with. So, the edits usually just get submitted as the one big one, then the reviewers do cleanup afterwards. Sometimes they don't do the cleanup part though, and this is what happens.

Not an incorrect highway, but an incorrect waterway in South Jersey.  The Bass River is marked as Mullica River in Bass River Township.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Here's the Almond Street Freeway in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
https://www.google.ca/maps/@36.754649,-90.3888583,19.98z

That's got to be the shortest freeway I've ever seen. It's apparent speed limit of 65 mph (according to Google Mapmaker) means you could clinch it quickly :sombrero:

It's already been edited though and should be fixed soon.

Apparently, Michigan's borders have changed.

And Indiana and Illinois and Wisconsin and Maryland and Georgia and Alabama and Mississippi and...

Didn't notice that those ones were messed up as well. Some of the Canadian provinces have been messed up as well. Wonder what is wrong with Google.

At least SNL's David Paterson got most of his wish and now New Jersey is just a rhombus in Salem and Cumberland counties.

Considering most of New York (including New York City) was annexed by an unknown entity, as well as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, while Pennsylvania remains intact, I can only theorize that those bastards are behind all this.

I think that is all that is off.
I've also noticed some cities and states lost their vectors and are only displayed as place markers.

This has happened in Spain, too. After two random streets of two different villages in Soria province were turned into expressways, it's now the turn for a freeway that 'splits' off A-23 near Villanueva de Gállego (North of Zaragoza): https://www.google.es/maps/@41.7791321,-0.8332269,14z
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

Are the borders still messed up?
Nope. They must've got fixed when I was in school, I checked a link to make sure. (I come home at around 3:20 PM ET)

Every city and state also got its vectors back so it isn't just shown as a place marker.

Spot the error  :biggrin:

It's still there on Google Maps like that.  US Route 6 mysteriously changes to Connecticut Route 6 and then back again!

It's bad enough the sign makers make this mistake often enough.  How does a mistake like this get into an online map?

This road is still shown going across the tracks here, despite the crossing over the center railroad line appearing to have been closed (look at satellite view):

It looks more like it's closed to through traffic, not necessarily all traffic. It has the correct "faint line" marking that Google sometimes uses for private roads. Unless there's something on the ground that indicates full, permanent closure, I think it's correct as marked.
