Incorrect highways marked on Google Maps

[codyg1985]

A small part of US 75 just north of I-45's terminus in Dallas is now I-345.

That's correct. I-345 isn't signed, but it is there on paper

Apologies if this made it on here already, but I saw signs on a recent trip to Portland that I thought were incorrect, and it appears Google thinks the same.

OR-99W and OR-10 go all the way into downtown Portland?  It was my understanding 99W ended at the I-5 interchange a bit further south, and OR-10 ended further south as well (at the intersection with Barbur, IIRC)

That's ODOT not being clear about OR 10 and 99W.
At this point, I'm not sure ODOT knows where the two highways end. On one hand, OR 99W ends at I-5(294). On another, according to signs in the field, ODOT maps, wherever you see it, it ends at US 26 with OR 10... which ends at OR 99W at the northern end of SW Capitol Highway...

Also, US 26 either follows I-405, SW Broadway/Sheridan, 3rd, Arthur, Kelly/Naito (per signs and ODOT) or Market/Clay, Naito (and Kelly) per AASHTO.

Can't blame Google for this one. You can blame them for OR 224 being marked as a freeway along the Milwaukie Expressway, however...

Thanks Bickendan.  That whole area is a complete mess!  I wanted to follow US 26 through Portland after taking my kids to the zoo.  From 405, it's a very confusing route to the Ross Island Bridge with all the turns.  Managed to do okay, but yikes! Even looking at aeiral images makes one scratch their head!

I-90B. What the hell? Since when did Montana have an "I-90B"? Did Google mean to have that as I-90 Bus or I-90 "Bypass"?

And who could forget the infamous "US 210" (Which is Secondary Route 210)?

That's Google's half-ass way to identify a "Business" Interstate.  Why couldn't they just use the Green Shield....

[Billy F 1988]

Figures. Lazy bums at Screw-gle can't even get half their shit right. I say Screw-gle because they're mainly a bunch of rookie geeks who can't tell the difference between an Interstate and a Business Route from the holes in their you-know-whats! 

[NE2]

Ooh ooh! I know what! Their hands?

[Billy F 1988]

Probably. Or their goats!

It's the result of the southern portion of I-405 destroying the street grid of south downtown Portland when the freeway was built. Once you've gone through there a few times, the layout makes sense and works fairly well (well, when it isn't gridlocked during rush hour, lol) for what it is.

Better than their no-assed way of identifying a business Interstate or any other bannered route most of the time...

I've noticed 2 highways in Pennsylvania that suffered the orange-to-yellow color transformation;
PA 248(Which although was marked a freeway from US 209 to PA 873, it's really only a freeway from 873 to Club Road): http://goo.gl/maps/2FE8m

US 209 from PA 33 to I-80:http://goo.gl/maps/fFsts
Due to the fact that there's no interchanges and there's even a signaled intersection, I'd agree with this change. I've read tons of mixed opinions on the status of this segment of 209.

There can't be mixed opinions. It has a signal, ergo it is not a freeway.

The new SR 429 alignment is freeway northbound but surface southbound: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=28.666002,-81.542802&spn=0.034342,0.066047&gl=us&t=m&z=15
And a random piece of the Turnpike still disappears when you zoom out: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=28.567638,-81.309814&spn=2.199826,4.22699&gl=us&t=m&z=9

It's "expressway," and it was marked as that along with the PA 248 example last time I used Map Maker (long since given up on it). I have no idea why they demoted it, since it's one of the best examples of "expressway" in the state (like US 222 near Allentown), which calls freeways "expressways" all the time, along with most if not all of the northeast.

Well now most of I-74 is multiplexed with I-465 on Google Maps, except for a few sections in NC.

As of this morning, it's STILL that way from near Harrison, Ohio to the Quad Cities of IL/IA. It's supposed to be multiplexed with I-465 only along the Indianapolis beltway. Once it's off there, it's supposed to be on its own. It isn't apparently multiplexed with 465 anywhere from the I-275 loop in Cincinnati to where the western segment of 74 terminates, nor once it takes the turn west onto I-280 in the Quad Cities. I can't find how to remove those shields though, or I'd have done it.

A week or two ago I reported this error through Google Maps. The following day I received a note from them saying that they are unable to process the correction right now. Sounds like it's some technical error that the folks at Google can't quite figure out. LOL

US 11 is shown as not existing from Morely-Potsdam Rd to the Potsdam village line on most zoom levels.  Never thought I'd see one so close to college.

My take is that if there's one lone light on what is otherwise a freeway, then it's a freeway on either side of the light, but not at the light.  No way to show that on a map though.  Since there's also a RIRO on each side near PA 33 this example is just one of those things that's really hard to classify, acting both like a freeway and an expressway.

In that case, 5th Ave. in Manhattan is an expressway everywhere except at traffic lights.

[vdeane]

There's the "otherwise a freeway" part - limited access, overpasses, etc. - in between two stoplights would likely be "not a freeway".  I'm thinking of stuff like NY 204.

not a highway, but I just noticed that the Northwest Angle in Minnesota has been renamed to "Jake's Northwest Angle".

I had nothing to do with this, but I'll take it!

It's an actual name of a lodge there, a website for it even exists.

Columbia has some new cities surrounding it: Northeast Arcadia Lakes, East & Southern, and West Metro. Northwest Columbia is slightly less major.
