Well, if you are drawing a map then you want to know if something is
important for navigation. Like a landmark.

It is of course possible to estimate (with a computer) how important
something is by analyzing the road network around it. Sometimes importance
follows roads and sometimes roads follow importance, but the correlation is
clear.
