green line
Lime-hued marking visible
A green line is a boundary or demarcation line, often drawn on maps in green ink to separate opposing forces or communities.
The term gained currency from various ceasefire lines, particularly in divided cities like Beirut and Nicosia.
More generally, any transit line designated "green" on a subway or rail map: Take the green line to the airport. (Capitalized Green Line typically refers to a specific transit route or political boundary.)
