Traffic direction
Two-way tag on 34% of the mapped length; 66% 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.

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.

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

Questions about this street

Is Lower Main Road a one-way street?

This map data does not establish a single traffic direction for the Lower Main Road section shown in Cape Town. Recorded tags: Two-way tag on 34% of the mapped length; 66% 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 Lower Main Road?

It shows the mapped section in this directory: 1.57 km 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.
