Questions about this street

Where is Ben Nevis Street?

The mapped section is in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.

What is the postcode of Ben Nevis Street?

A street-wide delivery postcode has not been independently verified in the current dataset.

Where are nearby distances measured from?

Page lists measure a straight line from the nearest part of the whole mapped geometry: 500 m for places and 1 km for passenger transport. The interactive map measures from one selected point, so its counts differ. Neither is a walking distance.
