OpenCRG is a complete free and open-source project for the creation, modification and evaluation of road surfaces, and an open file format specification CRG (curved regular grid). Its objective is to standardize a detailed road surface description and it may be used for applications like tire-, vibration- or driving-simulation.

Given the grid's origin as a network for pedestrian movement, it is important to understand how it serves pedestrians when it must synchronously serve vehicular traffic. A 2010 study concluded that of seven network patterns, including the Radburn-type pattern, the grid was the least safe for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicycles.
Gridlock on a network of two-way streets. The red cars are those causing the gridlock by stopping in the middle of the intersection. Gridlock is a form of traffic congestion where continuous queues of vehicles block an entire network of intersecting streets, bringing traffic in all directions to a complete standstill.
The Manhattan mobility model is a guide which leads the driver of a vehicle on the correct path. It is an urban type of mobility model for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET). ). The Manhattan mobility model uses a "grid road topo
