We consider graphs that admit polyline drawings where all crossings occur at the same angle
$\alpha\in (0,\frac{\pi}{2}]$
. We prove that every graph on
n
vertices that admits such a polyline drawing with at most two bends per edge has
O
(
n
) edges. This result remains true when each crossing occurs at an angle from a small set of angles. We also provide several extensions that might be of independent interest.
