Questions about this street
Is Viking Way a one-way street?
This map data does not establish a single traffic direction for the Viking Way section shown in Cape Town. Recorded tags: One-way tag on 87% of the mapped length; 13% 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 Viking Way?
It shows the mapped section in this directory: 7.45 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.
