Along this mapped section · within 500 m

Distances are measured in a straight line from the nearest part of the street. Places may be near different sections. Areas use an interior point, not an entrance. These are source records, not unique venues or walking distances. Activity is not corroborated: records come from the September 2026 map snapshot, and an object's edit date does not confirm that a venue operates.

Questions about this street

Where is Faraday Road?

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

What is the closest mapped public transport to Faraday Road?

Thornton is approximately 840 m in a straight line from the nearest part of the mapped street. This is a source record within the 1 km search radius, not a walking route or confirmation of operating services.

What is the postcode of Faraday 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.
