Questions about this street
Does the map show the whole of Hempe Street?
It shows the mapped section in this directory: 745 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.
