So this is another case in which Google data is incorrect.
The tool can only compare. But it can't tell you whether OSM or Google is  
correct. It will only tell that there is a difference.

Best would be to ignore this specific street and move on to the next  
difference. I understand that if you have enough of the Google problems  
they start to be annoying and hide the real problems.
Do you have any idea on how to mark something like this as "checked"?
It should be a lightweight solution, still not prone to accidental checking  
something as verified.
