  • Place

The model names places and sections as the sources do; every point comes from Vidik’s register of places and sits at the centre of the named place, not at an exact location. A section is marked on the road itself when the map knows its number (A1, M-17); otherwise it is a dashed line between its ends. A name the register does not recognise is not drawn. Colour shows the event’s severity.
