      City walls often worked like this on a smaller scale; rammed-earth walls for old Chinese cities were elevated roads for local soldiers.

      Canals sometimes filled this role too. On a larger scale, rivers were both highways and borders.

      We don't build walls for our cities anymore, but highways and railways sometimes play similar roles.

      Route 128 in Boston is the de facto city wall; the notorious Beltway in DC, the M25 in London, Beijing's ring roads, Tokyo's Yamanote Line

      The point of a wall is that you can't walk across it except at specific access points--gates.

      I think this principle works at a variety of scales--busy streets form neighborhood walls just like expressways do for metro areas.

      Naturally I'm most interested in how this works regarding trains. Railways are walls at various scales--"wrong side of the tracks" etc

      Railway "walls" can have mundane gates in the form of overpasses and underpasses...but they also have that very special gate: the station.

      Imagine a wall where most gates just take you to the other side, but some gates takes you *anywhere*

      You walk through the wall and come out hundreds of miles away on the other side. Magical!
