Saw an article posted about Tim Cook calling the launch of Apple Maps his first big mistake which reminded me of this.

But that’s literally the directions to the 280N on ramp from DeAnza

Yeah, it was revealed that it’s a valid turn but the icon lacks the detail to explain why.

Either way, they completely changed it to the highway that runs beside Apple Park.

Yeah, It's a bridge with a left turn freeway onramp. It's a thing, at least in California. Not all onramps are those clover leaf right hand loops.
