512.2 Underpass or tunnel

Geometry: line.

Definition

An underpass or a tunnel is a passage running underneath the ground or a building, especially a passage for pedestrians or vehicles. A cartographic gap of 0.2 mm shall apply at the beginning and the end of the line. The line is only used when there is no other barrier line defining the extent of the lower level area.
For very short underpasses or tunnels where there is not enough space for a line of minimum length, the line can be omitted if the area is also delimited by the symbol Area runnable at lower level (512.3).

Parameters

Minimum length: 2 dashes at full size (0.7 mm – footprint 2.8 m).
