Render Every Road in a City with City Roads
Could easily spend an afternoon playing around on City Roads, via Jalopnk:
The aptly named City Roads project is simple: Just go to the site, enter the name of your city, and software creates a map that exclusively shows roads. With no text or topography at all, the results are really quite beautiful.
