As to why that coounty is bad: the problem is probably more political 
than technical. Counties spend money differently, have different 
surveying crews, and so on.

As to fixing it, I suspect that your best bet would be to purchase 
better-quality road data for the county in question. TIGER is 
notoriously incomplete and inaccurate, despite the recent drive toward 
its improvement.

Sorry that doesn't help...
