Yes Peter S,I fully agree with you on that definition ofthe DeNl "neutral roads" - I, too considerthe middle of the road being the actualboundary line - the markers on either sidejust being "Abzielsteine/indirekte Vermarkung".so I suggest the jurisdiction is divided betweenDe and Nl ... depending on which side of the roadyou are...Quite useful to know, btw - if we get a ticket forspeeding on the "Heringsbosch" road... whatare the "rates" in Nl and Ge??CU soon!Best regards - hilsener - GrĂ¼sse - groetenPeter H.-------Original Message-------From: Peter SmaardijkDate: Tuesday, July 31, 2001 15:33:03Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re: markers on river banksI think it's the same as in Europe. The only thing that puzzles me
are the boundary markers along the delu condominial rivers. They make
less sense to me, because the condominium boundary can easily be
marked at the exact location of the boundary. Maybe they are a bit
further up the river bank to protect them from flooding? But in that
case they could have been placed higher up still, because where they
are standing now they are not secure, too.
BTW: Wolfgang mentions exactly the same purpose for these markers as
you do: "indirekte Vermarkung, auch Abzielsteine" (see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/files/delu/BorderPointemai
l.doc ).
The "neutral roads" along denl are a bit like rivers, too, with the
boundary marker pairs on both side of them. I think in these cases
the boundary follows the middle of the road, but you don't want to
but your markers there, of course.
