Not sure it's really incorrect, but there's a random '61' appended to this street in Mt Vernon, NY:

There's a lot of Google Maps "signage" of Business US 60's in southern Missouri, which do not exist according to AASHTO and MODOT, aka real life. Here's 1: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.1544888,-92.7766914,16z

In a similar manner how US 30 was labelled Quebec route 366 (i.e. QC 366), or all those US [insert number here] in [insert a state the US route goes through other than the current one here], Spanish A-4 between Madrid and Seville (But not the section in the Cadiz bay area) is now labelled as 'Ronda Urbana Norte'.

Also, several numbering changes that took place last year in my region still don't show up in Google Maps.
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.

Never knew that AL 2 goes into Bridgeport, AL along AL 277, despite it being an unsigned reference route for US 72.

AL 2 stays on US 72 through Athens, AL, though Google shows AL 2 taking a route that isn't part of US 72:

Not a highway, but I've noticed some sections of the Appalachian trail are missing, most notably in Vermont.

Quadrant routes are being marked in Pennsylvania, which is murder for navigation as they're not signed for public consumption.

ALT US 72 should only go down I-565, not Madison Boulevard:

However, there are a few ALT. US 72 shields posted along Madison Boulevard from back when the road was AL 20.

That problem has been at least recently fixed in OSM.

"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Lane" should be "Martin Luther King Jr. Highway":

Also, AL 255 goes all the way to where Bob Wade Lane goes from four lanes divided to two lanes.

The roads on the map haven't been updated here yet, even though they have the new road alignments on Satellite view:

Now Flagstaff is now in the middle of a humongous national park.

That's a national forest and a quick look around at the rest of Google Maps and a list of national forests in Arizona indicates that is correct. This probably explains why on some road maps national parks and national forests/grasslands are shown with slightly different shades of green to differentiate the two.

Yeah, using the same color for BLM, NPS and USFS managed units is stupid.

Apparently I-11 is now open southeast of Boulder City.

Fixed, or they will be once the map updates. Someone already got I-11.

And now the entire Appalachian Trail (except for the section between Mount Washington and NH 16 in New Hampshire) has been renamed South River Fire Road.
