Roads are shown by single lines joining up the way points by
straight line segements. Direct and cross raods are tinted, as
explained by a notice on the back of the second title page:-
In the General Map of England and
Wales, opposite the Title-page, the Cross Roads are drawn in blue
lines, in contradistinction to the Direct Roads in red. The
points d'appui, where the roads join, being thus rendered
prominently distinct, the Route from any one part of the kingdom
to another may be easily traced, and referred to.
