2.5.1 Cleared Lines


Location of Example:	141°50'04" East, 27°54'22" South
Distinctive Characteristics:	Figure 2.5.1.2 is a representation of Cleared Lines in a Remote Area (created for fire breaks, seismic monitoring, etc). Cleared lines have numerous attributes that differ from roads: They are generally straighter and can sometimes form a rectilinear pattern. They have no pavement or bitumen. There are generally no roads diverging off them. There are generally no access points along these lines to buildings, dwellings or other infrastructure. Cleared lines may also show signs of overgrowth if not accessed recently.
Regional Considerations:
