• use of blank space around plotted points (2.11, 3.4.3.11)

• use of open arrowheads on arrows (3.4.3.7)
• use of indented headings for lists (5.3.2)
• use of transcriber's note indicating omission of number sign on bus routes and terminals (5.6.1)
• incorporation of print key into tactile graphic key listing (5.6.1, 5.6.2, 5.7.5, 5.8.4.2)
