To create this symbol, start from an empty line symbol and then do the following steps:
In the Main Line page:
# Choose the color for the dashed center line in '''Line color'''. Note that this color must be above the yellow fill color in the color table. In addition, the yellow fill color must be above the color for the side lines. Therefore you need 3 colors to create this symbol: Black for the center line, yellow for the infill and black for the side lines.
# Enter the width of the dashed center line in '''Line width'''.
# Enter the distance from the start of the line to the start of the dashed center line in '''Distance from start'''.
# Enter the same distance in '''Distance to the end'''.
In the Distances page:
# Enter the dash length of the center line in '''Main length a'''.
# Enter the dash length of the center line also in '''End length b'''.
# Enter the length of the gap in the center line in '''Main gap C'''.
In the Double Line page:
# Choose '''Full lines''' for '''Mode'''.
# Enter the width of the yellow infill in '''Width'''.
# Check Fill.
# Choose the yellow color in '''Fill color'''. Note that this color must be below the color of the dashed line in the color table, otherwise it will cover the dashed line. In addition, it must be above the color of the sidelines, otherwise crossings are not cleared automatically.
# Enter width and color in the box '''Left line'''.
# Enter width and color in the box '''Right line'''.


==Colors==
The following colors are used for this symbol. Define and edit colors in the '''[[Colors]]''' dialog, which can be found in the '''[[Map]]''' menu.

a: '''black above''' for the main line<br>
b: '''yellow above''' for the infill of the double line<br>
c: '''black below''' for the sidelines<br>
d: '''yellow below''' for the framing<br>
 
It is important that the colors are in this order in the '''[[Colors|Color Table]]'''. The sidelines are cleared automatically in this case, when drawing an intersection, which looks as follows:

If you want to create an over- or underpass, you will have to create a new symbol. Duplicate all the colors from the original symbol, move them at the top of the '''[[Colors|Color Table]]''' (in the same order) and allocate them to the line symbol elements as described below. Alternatively, you can just cut the line object at the position of the underpass using the [[File:Icon_Cut.PNG]] '''[[Cut]]''' tool.

==Parameters==
To create this line symbol, enter the following parameters to a newly created line symbol:
 
'''Main Line'''
* Line color: black above (see color order at the top of this page)
* Line width: 0.2 mm
* Distance from start: 0.2 mm
* Distance to the end: 0.2 mm
[[File:Motorway_MainLine.PNG]]
 
'''Distances'''
* Main length a: 1.0 mm
* End length b: 1.00 mm
* Main gap C: 0.7 mm
[[File:Motorway_Distances.PNG]]
 
'''Double Line'''
* Mode: Full lines
* Width: 1.0 mm (This is the width of the filling, therefore also the distance between the sidelines)
* Fill color: On checked, yellow above (see color order at the top of this page)
* Left line color: black below (see color order at the top of this page)
* Left line width: 0.2 mm
* Right line color: black below (see color order at the top of this page)
* Right line width: 0.2 mm
[[File:Motorway_DoubleLine.PNG]]
 
'''Framing'''<br>
Framing is used to prevent small gaps between the filling and the sidelines of the line object.
* Line color: yellow below (see color order at the top of this page)
* Line width: 1.2 mm. In this case, the framing overlaps the sidelines by a half of their width.

Colors

The following colors are used for this symbol. Define and edit colors in the Colors dialog, which can be found in the Map menu.

Colors Motorway.PNG

a: black above for the main line
b: yellow above for the infill of the double line
c: black below for the sidelines
d: yellow below for the framing

It is important that the colors are in this order in the Color Table. The sidelines are cleared automatically in this case, when drawing an intersection, which looks as follows:

If you want to create an over- or underpass, you will have to create a new symbol. Duplicate all the colors from the original symbol, move them at the top of the Color Table (in the same order) and allocate them to the line symbol elements as described below. Alternatively, you can just cut the line object at the position of the underpass using the Icon Cut.PNG Cut tool.

Parameters

To create this line symbol, enter the following parameters to a newly created line symbol:

Main Line

  • Line color: black above (see color order at the top of this page)
  • Line width: 0.2 mm
  • Distance from start: 0.2 mm
  • Distance to the end: 0.2 mm

Motorway MainLine.PNG

Distances

  • Main length a: 1.0 mm
  • End length b: 1.00 mm
  • Main gap C: 0.7 mm

Motorway Distances.PNG

Double Line

  • Mode: Full lines
  • Width: 1.0 mm (This is the width of the filling, therefore also the distance between the sidelines)
  • Fill color: On checked, yellow above (see color order at the top of this page)
  • Left line color: black below (see color order at the top of this page)
  • Left line width: 0.2 mm
  • Right line color: black below (see color order at the top of this page)
  • Right line width: 0.2 mm

Motorway DoubleLine.PNG

Framing
Framing is used to prevent small gaps between the filling and the sidelines of the line object.

  • Line color: yellow below (see color order at the top of this page)
  • Line width: 1.2 mm. In this case, the framing overlaps the sidelines by a half of their width.
