Ligne d'arrêt mécanisée : L'emploi de la désignation «ligne d'arrêt mécanisée» est déconseillé pour nommer une ligne d'arrêt construite à l'aide de machines. En effet, l'adjectif «mécanisé» peut être employé pour qualifier une action effectuée à l'aide de machines, mais non pour qualifier le résultat de cette action. 1, record 1, French, - ligne%20d%26rsquo%3Barr%C3%AAt%20cr%C3%A9%C3%A9e%20m%C3%A9caniquement
