A prize to anyone who can spot the mistake (or possibly simply an innovative stylistic decision) here? Tsk. Google Maps data quality is pretty poor, but this.... Tsk.
From what I did at openstreetmap, turns out it's really quite hard to get that sort of thing right automatically. Paper maps have people manually exaggerating the distance or size between features so that the angles and curves still end up right, it essentially ends up an artistic decision, although with a good dollop of practical constraints. But anyhow, that's not a fault in the data...
