Setting aside the fact that Google Maps are terrible for navigation (it's basically only useful as a company catalogue with a map view), why are cars driving the wrong way? Are there no road signs? I understand that it can be inconvenient when a map directs you onto a road that you cannot drive on, but drivers should at least have the cognitive ability to interpret road signs - that's why driver's exams exist, after all.

@oxidand@techhub.social I was as appalled as you are! Especially in Germany, where a licence is both hard to pass exams for and incredibly expensive. And still, there were some situations of people driving the wrong way. But even if not, it caused traffic jams and hiccups because the cars had expected to be able to turn into the street, saw the ⛔, and got stumped by it 🤷♂️
