This paper extends previous work concerning intersection classification by including a new set of statistics that enable to describe the structure of a city at a higher level of detail. Namely, we suggest to analyze sequences of intersections of different types. We start with sequences of length two and present a probabilistic model to derive statistics for longer sequences. We validate the results by comparing them with real frequencies. Finally, we discuss how this work can contribute to the generation of virtual cities as well as to spatial configuration search.
