yes, the network of the connection grid can be observed inside settlements as 
well. In the typical case you can clearly observe a road hierarchy, examples 
for distinctive properties may be: right of way on crossings, signage, traffic 
lights, speed limits, road width/number of lanes, presence of through traffic, 
etc.

Also the presence of shops and pubs may in some context indicate the principal 
road.
