If there is more than one track/several tracks the distance is counted from the signal to the centre Explanation: It's what it means in English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2013-07-20 12:00:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry should be: If there is more than one track/several tracks the distance is counted from the signal to the centre of the outermost track. |

With more than one track, the distance from the signal is measured to the centre of the farthest. Explanation: Are you taking this into Italian or another language? Then you don't need this additional suggestion. But most importantly I'd say you are 'measuring' the distance here. I've cut a few words, but otherwise the idea is the same as the others. I understand you trouble here since when discussing 'sträcka' in terms of rail tracks, you are lookng along the tracks, the distance to travel from one point to the next. But here, the Swe uses the same word (in error I think) to measure across tracks, presumably at a road or other crossing. |
