May 6 (UPI) -- Residents of a one-way road in Toronto said a Google Maps error caused a flood of vehicles to drive the wrong way for several days.
Winona Drive residents said they discovered last week that the sudden influx of wrong-way drivers on the southbound street was a result of a Google Maps error that listed the road as northbound-only.
The error was in place as early as April 29.
"They come up here with such gusto," resident JP Timmerman told The Toronto Star of the wrong-way drivers. "The crossing guard seems ready to keel over."
Residents took their concerns to local officials, police and Google itself, but a solution took several days.
