Why do the roads SW of Cancun make such weird patterns. It’s almost like a ladder or just long roads to nowhere with single houses on either side. I have seen this in other central/south American countries as well. What political/legal/geographical/etc factors make it turn out like this?

I >>KNOW<< there is someone out there who can understand and explain this satisfactorily. I just need to find the right community, group, etc.

    Yes, I spotted that as well. The squiggles are very unique. In regards to the straight ones. The other spot I saw stuff like this was in Brazil. Long roads with super short side streets coming off of a major highway, parallel, but not connecting. How odd, the fact that they don’t connect East-West is the weirdest part.
