Ever needed to simplify street networks? I did. And it is a pain. So we joined forces with @anavybor and @JamesGaboardi and wrote an algorithm that does that for us. And can do for you, as it is available as a Python package called `neatnet`.
Here's a short blog about it - https://martinfleischmann.net/simplification-of-street-networks/
And here's, not so short preprint - https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.16198
But you probably want the package. That is here - https://uscuni.org/neatnet.
Happy coding!
