GBMUD Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Does anyone know the significance of the white dashes on the orange road on the map? Most roads are solid colours, including other orange roads. Any ideas? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Doesn't it mean it's under construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 If this is correct then we were all wrong http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/education/pdf/25k_english_legend_aug09.pdf Shown on there as a narrow road with passing places.

western Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 it means narrow road with passing places, refer to the link below, left side of page,5th road icon down [ok, the road shown is a red, but has the white blocks to denote passing places. http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/education/pdf/25knewEGMlegend.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 According to the information on the border of me sheet 40 Os map A2 edition It's a narrow road with pasing places. You will find the same cartography symble on an original 1" to 1 mile mpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Narrow road with passing places but with a B-classification If you look at Scottish maps you will even find Red A-road with similar white dashes meaning they are also only single track with passing places!
