Most of the neighbourhood names in my large European city were like this on Google Maps. Either old names or hyperspecific landmark/street names that I had never heard being used as synecdoche for the area.

This was definitely true 4-5 years ago. I looked now and it's mostly better at most levels of zoom.

Google maps uses suggestive names (e.g. a park walkway given a name by the municipality) as official road names, and when it does that it marked it as a cycling path. Both are invalid and cycling on them is illegal. This has been going on for years.

It redirects cars on foot/bikepaths near rivers, with the danger of sliding in.
