Kudos to Useddenim, who’s taking care of the unstandard water line geometry of this set of icons, used mostly for the footpath projects. I have a qualm about the current naming, though. A '''ford''' is a place where a body of water is crossed by wading, obviously absent from rail lines and most other concievable usages of RTDs, apart from the titular footpaths. However the current naming "'''W'''FORD" seems to me unadvised, as, from definition, a ford is always about '''w'''ater/'''''w'''asser''. If we add a "w" to this out of consistency (akin to, say, {{BS-q|BRÜCKE}} ''v.s'' {{BS-q|WBRÜCKE}} ''et c.''), then we should go all the way and name it for what it is — "W'''KRZ'''", a crossing of water with the RDT line in question. -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 20:59, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
