Where most of the city's road-kilometres are, and where almost none of the traffic counts are.
Daibo Taku · CC BY 3.0What it is
The lanes between houses: residential streets, living streets and service lanes in OpenStreetMap's terms; hom in Kam Mueang, soi on the postal address. The measurements page counts their length, how many end in a dead end, and how many have a name. The highway department counts none of them, because none of them is a highway.
The long version
Inference — a hom is a hom because it goes to houses, not through them. The dead-end share on the measurements page is the number to hold onto: inside the moat the grid of 1296 makes almost every lane come out somewhere; in the rings outside, a lane is a driveway shared by twenty families and it ends at the last one.
