Incorrect Example [#2538]

of
515 Impassable wall (ISOM 2017-2)
from
Černá Voda, Czechia

Be aware! This is an example of an incorrect use of the symbol!

As we don’t have impassable retaining wall in specification, such retaining walls should me mapped as 201 Impassable cliff. The safety aspect is also important here. A competitor running downhill to the top of the wall expects to see a clear barrier in front of him, which is absent here, so mapping an impassable cliff is more appropriate.
