This is because the TIGER, county, state, and city imports all happened at different times with no effort to reconcile the two. As time has gone on, mappers in some areas have consolidated and "relationified" some borders, but obviously not everywhere. In most cases, the border is actually down the centerline of the road and jurisdictions have agreements about who takes care of the roads at the border. As a counterpoint to this, my hometown and the neighboring city frequently bicker about who should plow the border streets in winter.
