• Two grid references (required).
• Magnetic north arrow (required).
• Route drawn to scale (required).
• Title block (required).
• Route classification formula (required).
• Road curves with a radius of less than 45 degrees.
• Steep grades and maximum gradients.
• Road width of constrictions such as bridges and tunnels, with the widths and lengths of the traveled ways (in meters).
• Underpass limitations with limiting heights and widths.
• Bridge bypasses classified as easy, hard, or impossible.
• Civil or military road numbers or other designations.
• Locations of fords, ferries, and tunnels with limiting information.
• Causeways, snow sheds, or galleries if they are in the way. Data about clearance and load-carrying capacity should be included to permit an evaluation to decide whether to strengthen or remove them.
