City roads – This website renders every single road within a city

I'm impressed that it worked so smoothly after I entered Tokyo. Fully expected my phone's browser to crash at any time as it proceeded to download 34MB of data. Scrolling and zooming didn't even stutter.

I've done a thing with the same base idea in the past, and absolutely love the style of those things, especially if there are enough roads available to get a more dense shape: https://christian.rinjes.me/posts/2020-11-25-tokyo-street-ar...

It also appears to render footpaths in parks etc, which makes it look a bit weird in places - the monochrome rendering made it hard for me to find locations and the landmarks I am used to seeing (i.e. major parks and green space) were hard to find as they had "roads" criss-crossing them (when they don't in real life)

There is another website that renders every railway in a city: https://abaumg.github.io/railways/

Really nice output, would be nice if you could include rivers, they are core to the identity of a lot of places.

Gorgeous clean renders. Now I want to print and hang these all around my house!

If you like the minimalist rendering style, you can buy prints that are similar from https://routelines.com/

To be pedantic, the map is not the territory. If there are new roads not yet in Open Street Map, this website won't render it.

Really beautiful output! I think I saw a similar site that had monetized the idea by selling prints and/or engravings.

The lack of street names, coastlines, line-width cues, etc., can demand close study to find even familiar features. This, and the spareness of the interface, makes for a very captivating website. Streets are a maze well worth exploring.

Looking at this through the lens of TTRPG referee - this thing is gold. I'm always looking for blank basemaps I can easily place a hex layer over or use as hex detail.

Cool project!

Wish I could output this to an svg so I could do a high res print for a wall photo.

Other small detail. Would be cool if the url updated so I could just send a link to the press arched page.

https://woodcutmaps.com/ is pretty nice too

This is really cool. Kudos

3 mugs ordered :)

Very nicely done and beautiful vector output.

Pretty cool!
