# [Road Orientations Map](https://mourner.github.io/road-orientation-map/)

A visualization of road orientations for the current map view.

Explore the map to see the chart for your city!

Divides 360° into 64 bins and accumulates lengths of road segments with corresponding orientations,

then plots the distribution as a polar chart.

Two-way roads are counted for both directions.

Check out [my blog post about how it was made](https://blog.mapbox.com/visualizing-street-orientations-on-an-interactive-map-1eefa6002afc).

Built by [Vladimir Agafonkin](https://twitter.com/mourner).

Inspired by the works of [Seth Kadish](http://vizual-statistix.tumblr.com/post/80468941142/unlike-like-emperor-kuzco-i-was-actually-born) and
