Jan 2, 2017 at 17:36 comment added SDsolar To put @ecc's comment in the vernacular, you have two nodes connected by two edges. Each edge is directed opposite to the other. It is seen often in deterministic state diagrams. For streets, it would reduce to a single edge, whether directed (one-way) or undirected.

fix typo + add example of directed graph
Jan 2, 2017 at 16:10 comment added SDsolar I like this, and I notice that this answer is careful to say hyperlink connected web pages - which excludes the use of the Back function. ;-)

Jan 2, 2017 at 13:56 comment added ecc Great answer. I think OP is forgetting that when you have a street, you actually have two streets (one for each direction, usually perfectly parallel). They can be represented as a simple graph, but directed graphs add essential information to the model.
