Poking around in Google Maps, I noticed that Serris, the town in which Disneyland Paris is located, has a circular ring road. And I mean nearly perfectly circular. Looking at it through Street View, it becomes apparent that even there, the curve (well, the bend) is very hard to see. In town, where the field of view is more restricted, it isn’t even noticeable.
A real-life 2D curvature analogy and a few thoughts regarding scale
