Transport | PSMA | Transport systems using one or more rails to move vehicles carrying freight or passengers. | |
Transport | PSMA | Defined areas intended to be used for the arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft and associated cargo, and the transfer of goods and passengers from one form of transport to the air network | |
Transport | GA | Variable forms of markers or devices that aid travellers in determining their position or safe course. Includes transmission lines, buildings, radio towers and masts, skyscrapers, chimneys on power plants. | |
Transport | PSMA | Structures built to facilitate transport over or under another physical feature. Includes bridges, tunnels, fords, culverts and boardwalks. | |
Transport | PSMA | Structures used to control, calm, slow or impede the movement of traffic on another transport feature. | |
