We study the implications of assuming scale-invariance in a mathematical model of road networks. Intuitively, scale-invariance says that the statistics of the network within a window of an online map do not depend on whether the width is 5 miles or 500 miles. Mathematically, scale-invariance forces us to work in the continuum rather than (as in most existing models of spatial networks) on ...
