<div id="ygrps-yiv-380838247">And then there is the case with borders<br/>
in tunnels under the sea, and I can think of <br/>
only one; France - UK.<br/>
<br/>
If we think there are only two categories,<br/>
land borders and sea borders, then I&#39;d count<br/>
bridge/tunnel-border as land borders.<br/>
<br/>
After all, they have a lot in common with <br/>
ordinary land borders; wheeled traffic can<br/>
cross them, you can put boundary markers in<br/>
the ground on them, overly pedantic customs<br/>
officers can harrass you at them and you can <br/>
close them with off with fences and barbed wire.<br/>
<br/>
Then again, they are so special and therefore<br/>
exciting to us boundary-nuts, that they may<br/>
qualify for a classification of their own?<br/>
<br/>
Let there be:<br/>
1. Land borders<br/>
2. Sea borders<br/>
3. Man-made-constructions borders<br/>
<br/>
Btw, does this have any bearing on the discussion<br/>
on clave classification? :) Are there man-made<br/>
claves? Aren&#39;t (weren&#39;t) there some quite interesing<br/>
cases in the Canal Zone, as has been put forward here<br/>
recently?<br/>

<br/>
Very interesting subject, Mats!<br/>
Quite recently, Jesper and I had a<br/>
discussion on this topic:<br/>
are boundaries on bridges to be seen<br/>
as land boundaries.. it goes not only for<br/>
the new &quot;Oeresundbro&quot; betw. Se + Dk, <br/>
but for the socalled &quot;causeway&quot; between<br/>
Singapore and Malaysia as well - I&#39;ve<br/>
crossed this causeway/dam several times<br/>
and recall it to be quite a &quot;broadway&quot;<br/>
compared to bridges...<br/>
(and quite a dangerous place, btw-<br/>
remember Singapore&#39;s demands of<br/>
everybody looking neat and &quot;beardless&quot;<br/>
in the old days...?!?)<br/>
