    • lit=yes · 8 segments · 319 m

    Recorded on 8 of 8 mapped segments; 0 without this tag.

    Tag coverage by geometry length: 319 m of 319 m (100.0%). Unknown: 0 m (0.0%).

Recorded on 8 of 8 mapped segments.

Lengths refer to the represented road lines, not surveyed road or pavement lengths.

Traffic direction
One-way tag on 56% of the mapped length; 44% not recorded

Tags describe individual mapped segments. They do not establish one traffic direction for the whole street: separate carriageways can be mapped as separate one-way lines, and untagged lines are unknown, not two-way.

Tag details and coverage
  • oneway
    • oneway=yes · 5 segments · 180 m

    Recorded on 5 of 8 mapped segments; 3 without this tag.

    Tag coverage by geometry length: 180 m of 319 m (56.4%). Unknown: 139 m (43.6%).

Lengths refer to the represented road lines, not surveyed road or pavement lengths.

Mapped speed limit
60 km/h on all mapped lines

Speed-limit data is missing for 0 of 8 segments.

Tag details and coverage
  • maxspeed
    • maxspeed=60 · 8 segments · 319 m

    Recorded on 8 of 8 mapped segments; 0 without this tag.

    Tag coverage by geometry length: 319 m of 319 m (100.0%). Unknown: 0 m (0.0%).

Lengths refer to the represented road lines, not surveyed road or pavement lengths.

Pavements
Pavement tags vary by segment and side

Pavement mapped separately on the source-way left side: 56% of the mapped length; Source indicates no pavement on the source-way right side: 56% of the mapped length; Pavement mapped separately on both sides: 40% of the mapped length; no pavement tag on 4%. Each value applies only to the segments and sides that carry it.

Tag details and coverage
  • sidewalk:left
    • sidewalk:left=separate · 5 segments · 180 m

    Recorded on 5 of 8 mapped segments; 3 without this tag.

    Tag coverage by geometry length: 180 m of 319 m (56.4%). Unknown: 139 m (43.6%).

    • sidewalk:both=separate · 2 segments · 128 m

    Recorded on 2 of 8 mapped segments; 6 without this tag.

    Tag coverage by geometry length: 128 m of 319 m (40.1%). Unknown: 191 m (59.9%).

Lengths refer to the represented road lines, not surveyed road or pavement lengths.

Questions about this street

Is Buiten Crescent a one-way street?

This map data does not establish a single traffic direction for the Buiten Crescent section shown in Cape Town. Recorded tags: One-way tag on 56% of the mapped length; 44% not recorded. Tags describe individual mapped segments. They do not establish one traffic direction for the whole street: separate carriageways can be mapped as separate one-way lines, and untagged lines are unknown, not two-way. Check road signs on site before driving.

Does the map show the whole of Buiten Crescent?

It shows the mapped section in this directory: 319 m of road lines in Cape Town. The street may continue beyond this mapped section. No completeness is claimed. Line length is not a surveyed street length.

Where are nearby distances measured from?

The lists on this page measure a straight line from the nearest part of the whole mapped section: places within 500 m and passenger transport within 1 km. Two listed places can therefore be near opposite ends. The interactive map instead counts records around one selected point on the street, including transport, so its totals differ. None of these are walking distances.

Why can one stop appear as several records?

OpenStreetMap can record a waiting platform, a station and the position where a vehicle stops as separate objects. This page lists passenger records once and keeps vehicle positions in the technical details. The records do not confirm routes, timetables or that a service operates.
