I personally find these examples much more practical and easier on the eyes. Traffic lights and roundabouts are marked. Main roads have bold edges, ALL ROADS ARE LABELLED.. Street numbers are shown at regular intervals!

They are a bit too cluttered. Its like "find Waldo" all over the map. These make sense at a high-zoom level where you are trying to find a specific house, or something within a few block radius, but not at a higher zoom level.

The CTA (Chicago public transportation) has maps like these up at every train station and every sheltered bus stop: https://www.transitchicago.com/maps/downtown/
