Why don't they use hexagons? They can be tiled indefinitely and create safer intersections. This video relied on this great article: Ben-Joseph, E., & Gordon, D. (2000). Hexagonal planning in theory and practice. Journal of Urban Design, 5(3), 237-265. Produced by Dave Amos and the fine folks at Nebula Studios.
