The lines it meets

Other open lines whose drawn course comes within 40 m of this one, the layer splits one trail into many features, so a line it touches is often the same walk’s next leg.

The green it crosses

Parks and reserves whose drawn outline the line enters, measured against the line itself, not a buffer around it.
