Missing route
A faulty route is used to refer to the kilometrage of existing traffic routes (such as roads, railways and rivers) if structural measures have shortened individual areas.
Since it is practically impossible to relocate the kilometer markers along the entire traffic route, the shortening of the route is mapped by maintaining the existing kilometrage and continuing the kilometrage along the shortened route section. The resulting difference, which corresponds to the route length of the abbreviation, is marked as a missing route on the traffic route and also shown in maps and geographic information systems .
Ignorance of faulty routes leads to incorrect calculations of the route length if the calculation is based solely on the kilometer markings.
In the case of waterways, special hydraulic engineering measures, for example the shortening of a river loop by building a canal, lead to these faulty distances in the kilometrage.
Wrong stretches of the Danube
An exceptionally long faulty route measures 7,900 m and lies between km 2330 and km 2322.
