Crossing
From crossing occurs when a traffic route or a technical installation (eg. As pipeline or transmission line ) crosses above ground obstacles. Crossing obstacles is in many cases easier to implement than crossing under . However, since they are sometimes perceived as annoying and affect the cityscape, for example, simple crossings are often designed in terms of architecture and color. Bridges or dams are used to transfer traffic routes .
For overhead line crossings, see overhead line crossing , for the guidance of oil, gas or water lines, see pipe bridge and culvert .
Other names
In everyday language, the crossing of streets or obstacles by pedestrians is also referred to as such. In many cases, separate structures are provided for this purpose, for example
Crossing is also used to describe the change of location itself, in particular a mountain crossing, crossing a wide body of water or an intercontinental flight .
transgression
Especially when it comes to mountaineering, there is the term "exceeding". It is used when a mountain peak is climbed on one route and left on a significantly different route on the descent.
Since exceeding it often places special demands on logistics, storage and the severity of the routes, exceeding it is considered more important than ascending and descending the same route - after all, if you exceed the easiest route you can climb, but not also commit in descent.
The highest mountain on earth, Mount Everest , was not exceeded until 1963, ten years after its first ascent, for the first time and with a total of well over 4,000 ascent (as of 2008) it was not exceeded 40 times.
