Specifications

509 Narrow ride

A distinct ride, less than ca. 5 m wide. A ride is a linear break in the forest (usually plantation) which does not have a distinct path along it. Where there is a path along a ride, symbols 507 or 508 should be used in place of symbol 509.

Colour: black.

Line width 0.14mm, line length 3.0mm, gap 0.5mm

ISOM 1990 Definition

As ISOM 2000 but line width was 0.125mm

OCAD Methods

Defined as line symbol 509.0. Can be drawn with any tool but bézier or straight line modes are preferable.

If the bézier tool is used, care must be taken as gap spacing is dependent on location of nodes and handles. See bézier topic for more information.

Drawing Considerations

See minimum dimensions but specifically - shortest dashed line: at least two dashes.

Pictorial Descriptions
