      A lot of north and north west orienting. To counter stormy western winds? What’s up with Haarlem though.

      Can you tell which one of these cities was built centuries later than the others on a giant piece of reclaimed land?

      I just looked up Lelystad on Google Earth and it does not really seem to reflect the graph, as many streets are not organized in a grid.

      Kinda weird that every diagram isn’t 180° symmetrical?

      How can a street be oriented north in one way but not south in the other way ?

      Most of these seem suspect or downright wrong tbh. Amsterdam has practically no streets running exactly NW or ES, and yet the graph suggests more than half of the city is like that? If feels like the data set treats any curved street like ‘0’ or something, and adds it to one of those piles.

      I don’t know what method was used to collect street directions, but it appears deeply flawed.
