Verified. Every cell compared against rendered p210 on 2026-08-15, all 44 numeric cells included. Row 1 ("Street intersections, measured from the right-of-way boundary") is a section band, and rows 2-4 (Arterial Road, Major Collector, Minor Collector) are printed INDENTED beneath it as its sub-items. That subordination is visual only and is not preserved here: the three rows are stored flat, so their distances read as unqualified unless the band row above is carried with them.
