Interesting approach, but I am a little confused by the finished maps. For example, on the Queenstown one from top-left: you're going down Gorge, left on Hallenstein to corner of Weaver: one minor hill to overcome. Had you stayed on Gorge to make a left on Weaver, there's a major hill to climb to arrive at the same corner. Is the map inaccurate in respect to heights? Does the perspective skew distances?
I wonder if another approach could be more effective: keep the standard 2D projection, and use something like a colour gradient or vary street width to indicate street slope.

Here I would say the down-slope of Gorge St to be implied by viewing the other incline markers that are presented. Indeed, a contour-map seems to concur this point: https://www.google.com/maps/@-45.0276901,168.6623366,15.5z/data=!5m1!1e4 https://www.google.com/maps/@-45.0276901,168.6623366,15.5z/d...

Had you stayed on Gorge to make a left on Weaver, there's a major hill to climb to arrive at the same corner. The slope on Hallenstein looks to be longer than the slope on Weaver. So it's less steep to reach the same height.
