how to capture a road map image of an entire city.

I am in need of a complete road map for an entire city that I can blow up into a large 4' x 8' printed image. I am a new user of OSM and not sure how to accomplish this or if it is even possible. I have only been able to see sections and not an overall image. Any advice would be appreciated. Many thanks, Michael

Our existing free-to-use infrastructure is not suitable for generating such images. You'll have to either

use a third-party service - there's the excellent and free MapOsMatic but you can also buy services from the providers listed on our Wiki.
render the image yourself from raw data, for example by using the Maperitive software or the osm2pgsql/PostGIS/Nominatim toolchain; type "printing" in the search box above to read a couple of answers that deal with this.
