Each road is colored by the closest station to it (using a point-to-line distance), and its opacity is based on what that distance is. For stations that serve multiple lines, I blended a few of the colors together. It’s not perfect, especially when there are more than 2 lines, but it’s a best effort.
I grabbed the road and station geo data from [Open Data DC](https://opendata.dc.gov/) and used Processing to render the map. Hope you enjoy it!
they really need a heavy rail loop
Red good, green bad? or purple good and yellow bad? What do the colours mean?

Here’s a version without the station markers: https://imgur.com/a/T8fVi3v

Not really data, but God damn it is beautiful.
