A long-dashed line marking a right of way for horses.
Also known as: Bridleway, Horse right of way
On British mapping a bridleway carries a right of way on foot, on horseback and by pedal cycle, and is drawn with a longer dash than a footpath. The right of way is a legal fact about the line rather than a description of the surface, which may be impassable.
Marks a public right of way usable on foot, on horseback and by bicycle, drawn as a long-dashed line.
Contexts: Maps
Records a legal right rather than a physical path: a bridleway may be overgrown or ploughed and the right of way persists.
Contexts: Maps
Has no direct equivalent in most national mapping outside Britain, where public access rights are structured differently.

A line of long dashes with even gaps, printed in a distinct colour along a route across open ground.
Different dash lengths mark different rights.
