Traffic direction
One-way tag on 10% of the mapped length; 90% not recorded10% of represented geometry

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.

Values apply to their individual tagged segments and sides. Left and right follow the direction of each individual source way; they are not a single orientation for the whole street. An explicit no means no pavement on the tagged segment or side; a missing tag is unknown, and separate means a pavement mapped independently.

Questions about this street

Where is Electron Road?

The mapped section is in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

What is the postcode of Electron Road?

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.
