A grid with 250m spacing is shown. Analysis There were several steps that are required to perform this calculation. First the road network was split into road segments at every vertex so that each road segment was a straight line, rather than a multi-point road segment. Any duplicate road segments were removed by checking if they had simi- lar geometry to any other segments (this is a common occurrence, and the
