Venice canals
Gondola traffic lanes
The Venice canals are the network of waterways that serve as streets in Venice, Italy, where boats replace cars and bridges connect islands.
The Grand Canal is the main thoroughfare.
By extension, any urban waterway system designed for transport may be called Venice canals: The Venice canals of Los Angeles were built to evoke the Italian original.
