Mike, welcome to the real world. Tiger street data is better than nothing but not much. It's positionally inaccurate and many roads are wrongly classified. a rough guide at best. I do use the Tiger Roads 2019 overlay to add names to streets and roads though. The names are reasonably accurate in my experience.
