Only areas marked with symbol 528 – permanently out of bounds (think black vertical lines) and the overprint symbols 707 Uncrossable boundary (purple line), 709 out of bounds areas (vertical purple lines and 711 Forbidden route (purple cross) are forbidden in ISOM.

Cultivate land (symbol 415 yellow dotted screen) can be out-of bounds, but should always be combined with 709 to assist the runner to know if the area is out of bounds.

710 dangerous area is not by it self forbidden to pass, except for IOF Foot-O competition rules (17.2) states that dangerous areas shall not be passed, effectively making dangerous areas out-of bounds.

This is the international rules. Op top of this national rules can apply as well as national law.

Confused???
To avoid any misunderstand and low knowledge of national rules/law the organizer should always overprint forbidden areas like private propaty, cultivated land, etc. with overprint symbols like 707 or 709. This will remove any misunderstanding as these symbols are universal.

Since Wille saves time on his route-choice, the map is misleading. Thus, this is an event error with responsibility to be shared between controllers, course-setter and map-maker!
