Is that from the MapQuest 'Open' maps, or their own maps?

I just pulled up Mapquest and zoomed in on that spot.

I can confirm that that error does exist in Mapquest's own maps.

Verified it's just the 'commercial' version.  The OSM version of MapQuest is rendering correctly.

Best viewed in Netscape Navigator or Opera.

Also MQ is probably well viewed on Internet Explorer 6.

I think the increase in oil and gasoline use and the ensuing high gas prices in the 2000's can be attributed solely to all of MapQuest's mapping and directional errors.

When obtaining a set of printed directions for a friend, they were heading from Springfield, Delaware County, PA to Abington, Montgomery County; one of the direction steps inadvertently uses I-495 instead of the correct I-476 route reference.

It was nice for a quick check of county lines, but since Mob Rule has that feature (with overlays), so I haven't used Mapquest in a while.

MapQuest has the best looking symbology of the online maps (it's not perfect). So I just use the MQ layer on OSM.
