Huh? Having a bunch of roads at random angles explains the "even distribution of road orientations", by definition. How would it not? That's my point. The city is fragmented into tiny grids oriented at random angles. Wherever these grids meet, there are odd intersections and traffic patterns that are difficult to optimize.
