Urban spatial order: street network orientation, configuration, and entropy
By: Geoff Boeing
This study examines street network orientation, configuration, and entropy in 100 cities around the world using OpenStreetMap data and OSMnx.

Every road going south is also a road going north. Note all of them have rotational symmetry
It’d be interesting to know how one way streets are counted
Just read the study? They modelled street networks as undirected graphs, one-way streets are treated like all other streets, as their directionality isn’t considered.
Even if they were counted accurately, usually there is another one way road nearby and which is going the other direction. So I doubt it would have a meaningful impact in the visualization.
One way streets exist!
