The one I have doesn't (I was in Washington D.C. in the summer of '99, and
didn't need a map showing one-way streets as I don't have a driving license)
but I did find it a useful accessory in a Vampire campaign set in the city.

On those, yes, it does.

Most good maps will be handy to have in games, but they can be hard to get
hold of for some of us. All the city maps of the US I have, for example, I
got during my two trips over there; I haven't come across any over here in
the Netherlands, but maps of major European cities would probably be much
easier to find than of American ones.
