Usage

Regards any support where two or more lines coming from the same origin diverge toward different directions.

It includes situations where some of the incoming circuits go underground with location:transition=yes, this value should be combined with transition. This value regards nodes connecting lines with different circuits=* and cables=* values.

This value can't be combined with itself, straight and cross to describe several situations on the same support level.
It is not part of the IEC 60050 norm.

Possible mistakes

Only branch supports combined with branch:type=split or branch:type=loop should be carefully replaced by line_management=split.

Examples

Power

Photo	Location	Tagging	Note
	UK	power=tower line_attachment=anchor line_management=split	Two independent power systems split at the tower
	Germany	power=tower line_attachment=anchor line_management=split	Four splits on two separate towers. If you look at connection, you'll see there is no Y connection and it's only independent power systems that change of direction
	France	power=tower line_attachment=anchor line_management=split|transition line_arrangement=vertical location:transition=yes	Two power circuits split on this tower with an underground transition
	France	power=pole line_attachment=anchor line_management=split line_arrangement=horizontal location:transition=yes	A particular situation becoming common thank to networks burying: an old overhead switch anchor pole has been refurbished to split the original overhead line in two sections and connect them to underground cables toward an indoor switching busbar. It's a split since two cables coming from a same origin go different overhead directions.
