Incorrect highways marked on Google Maps

[vdeane]

I have NEVER seen anything other than the ground-mounted rectangular assemblies for future interstates; do actual banners for them even exist at all?  If they did, you'd think NY would use them rather than covering up the I-86 shields in Orange County.

The only error they have with I-86 that I can see is that they haven't marked it between Elmira and the Tioga County line yet, but that's a very recent addition (NYSDOT just got FHWA approval to sign it this week).

NC uses a couple in-between options:

Obvious drawback: the shield needs to be patched or replaced. I don't know if AASHTO would allow the former with a real Interstate shield.

I think I saw the latter in a graphic somewhere.  Maybe I'll make a future I-99 shield for my website now, given that that style is actually used somewhere.

Hey Google, NY 36 goes nowhere near Whitney Point: http://goo.gl/maps/xV6pP

(Could be a typo for NY 26, which does run there)

Google Maps still thinks US 66 exists in California.

[formulanone]

I for one, am glad it's listed. If Rand McNally still cares, why not...

[WNYroadgeek]

...and NY 41 goes nowhere near Almond (should be 21): http://goo.gl/maps/6bSos

Negative route number: Route -157!

Lowest route number ever?

Interstate 1D:

How many 1D fans would like that?

[agentsteel53]

how many 1D fans are there?

[vdeane]

That might have happened because Google put the border a little too far south, leaving that portion of 1D in the "US".

[Kacie Jane]

how many 1D fans are there?

Plenty.  Whether or not there's any overlap with the membership of this board -- or even any overlap with the sort of people who would notice that error -- is another matter entirely.

I found two recently;

In Southwest and South Philadelphia, there are some street that are listed as Pennsylvania State Route 3021. I never saw that anywhere on my trip on the Route 36 Trolley in 2011.

In Coram, New York, the connecting street between NY 112 at Mill Road and NY 25 at Old Middle Country Road is incorrectly named "Grand Smith Road." For as long as I can remember it has been "Grant Smith Road."

That's because 4-diigit routes in PA are hidden (not given normal shields) and are only shown on the little white mileage signs for state highways. (Example)

You can also see more info on how the 4-ditgit routes are assigned here.

US 701 has been relabeled as '701B' through its entire route

Just tested that link, working fine here.

Okay, now I see it. I don't know why it wouldn't turn up before.

MI-28 has been downgraded to "County Route M-28".

Then Google Maps was like, "turn right on Malcolm Ten Boulevard" and I knew there were no black engineers working there

Happened to notice this only because I have a grandfather that used to live here. The private road between Pinehurst Avenue and Cabrini Boulevard in Upper Manhattan is marked as one-way the wrong direction.  (If you look at the street view of the north end, you can see a black-on-white text sign reading "One Way Do Not Enter".)

Not a highway, but the name of Las Vegas is shown completely outside of the city limit (i.e., at The Strip). However, searching for Las Vegas still brings up and highlights the city boundary, as well as the name label outside of it!

[hotdogPi]

Which direction does this road go?

[NE2]

Which direction does this road go?

It's probably two roads drawn on top of each other.

It's probably two roads drawn on top of each other.

Given that it's a freeway on-ramp that clearly only goes one direction, that doesn't make it any less incorrect.

(Looks like the interchange was reconstructed, and when they drew in the new ramp, they forgot to change the direction of the old pavement.)
