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
chicago has a great lake to the east so. i dunno.
Yeah, but the measurement is over total length of the roads, not the center of downtown. Every road runs the same distance in each direction, whether or not it's a one way road.
