The Jeffersonian grid

"De Rutijer was first inspired to pursue this project when he began his residency at Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita, Kansas. While driving to a friend’s home, he noticed several points at which the straight roads came to a sudden stop at a T intersection, prompting drivers to zig-zag back onto the straight road. De Rutijer soon discovered that these strange correction points were not the result of odd land plots but were deliberately designed to fit the Earth’s shape."
