Do All Roads Lead to Rome?

Info graphic designers Philipp Schmitt, Benedikt Groß, and Raphael Reimann decided to see if all roads in Europe lead to Rome. The end result is a vast network of lines that feed into one another. To make the graphic the team overlaid a map of Europe with a grid and divided that grid up into 486,713 cells. Each cell was a starting point that lead to the end destination of Rome. The darkness of the lines depends on how busy the roads are. So, the more traffic the darker the line. The less traffic the lighter the line. They also did this with all of the capitals in Europe and the US, where they chose starting points in the capital's country or state.
