Very interesting. It shows that this style of simplified system map is far
superior to convey route and network information.
Back in 1984 we visited Los Angeles and my parents bought a fold out map of the
region, and on the reverse side was a colour-coded freeway system map in this
same style, with exits, interchanges, and symbols to indicate which turns were
possible. I wish I'd have kept it.
Now I'm grown up and drive trains around Sydney... and rail system maps are all
a part of my daily work. :-)
Thanks for sharing.
