How is supposed to be interpreted? For example Helsinki is right on the coast and sure as shit hasn't as many roads going south in to the drink compared to other directions
Every road going south is also a road going north. Note all of them have rotational symmetry
It'd be interesting to know how one way streets are counted
Just read the study? They modelled street networks as undirected graphs, one-way streets are treated like all other streets, as their directionality isn't considered.
Even if they were counted accurately, usually there is another one way road nearby and which is going the other direction. So I doubt it would have a meaningful impact in the visualization.
One way streets exist!
