How to draw every street in a country with Node.js and SVG

A little vacation experiment based on Ben Fry's project "All Streets":

I tried my hand at drawing every street in the OpenStreetMap dataset for Romania using Node.js for data processing and SVG for drawing the map. I'm pretty happy with the results, and with a bit of optimization I was able to draw similar maps larger datasets like France or Germany.

The code is also on Github: https://github.com/danburzo/every-street
