A thin line on an aeronautical chart follows a road for several kilometres. How should a pilot decide whether it is an airspace boundary or just a ground feature?

Answer

Use the chart symbology and labels, not the visual resemblance to the road. Confirm the line type in the current chart guide and trace the associated airspace information.

Explanation

Different information can overlap on a chart. The line style and annotation determine its meaning, not the geographic feature beneath it.
