Dense settlement on a bend of the Ciliwung, grown along the river.

Read the two columns below as two readings of the same data rather than as a gap that can yet be concluded from. The gang here are not mapped densely enough for that.

H is in nats — the natural-log unit of information. That is why its maximum is ln 36 ≈ 3.584 rather than log₂ 36.

Circuity is an estimate: network distance over straight-line distance, averaged across a seeded sample of node pairs rather than across all of them. Drive: 452 pairs sampled · 31 pairs unreachable.Walk: 463 pairs sampled · 25 pairs unreachable. Pairs with no route between them at all are excluded from the mean. A large count means this network is fragmented — a signal about the data, not about the place.

Each street segment’s bearing goes into one of 36 bins of 10°, weighted by length: a 500 m road counts ten times a 50 m gang. Bar length is the share of network length running that way, not a count of segments. The rose is always 180°-symmetric, because one segment traversed both ways differs by exactly 180°.

What walking adds

Ink: the edges that exist only in the walking network. Hairline: the network both modes share. Membership is decided by the tag mapping — an edge counts as walk-only when the OSM way it came from is not admitted to the driving network.

The intermediate values the column above is built from. Intersection density is the intersection count over the disc area; the weighted length is the denominator that turns a rose bar into a share. Two different circuity measures: the per-edge one compares each segment against its own chord, the sampled one compares distances between junctions. The first measures how much streets bend, the second how far out of your way the network takes you.
