Continuous operation: a. Background Sample Clauses

Continuous operation: a. Background. The AMA calls for continuous operation of the crossings. This is understood to encompass two major principles: (1) any crossing should not be closed unless there is a specific and material threat to that crossing that cannot otherwise be mitigated or contained; and (2) in such a rare case (or in the case of technical malfunction or other such emergency) both lane and terminal redundancy should be implemented, as appropriate (that is that an alternative lane or alternative crossing would be opened). This is meant to ensure that there is never a drop in available capacity, even if part or all of the crossing must be closed for a short period of time until the threat or emergency can be contained or remedied.
