Contour lines tightly packed? That's your cliff, dangerous for any road. Wider spacing means a gentle valley, perfect for a bridge alignment. Cart tracks on the toposheet? They show me where the villagers already walk—that’s where we should build the proper road, not where the map says is shortest. I learned this when a textbook-perfect hill road design collapsed in the monsoon, but the old cart path the locals used? It held firm.
