The overall times are correct but the splits are sometimes not accurate because they got scrambled a bit with the Farsta format.

About Multi-Levels

Areas that are layered with white strips indicate that areas are passable on 2 levels. With triangle lines indicating access to the lower level and square dotted lines indicating access to the upper level. Note that multilevel mapping in the current standard preserves the detail of the upper level and any detail of the lower level is not shown on the map.

ie:

Another example with bridges and underpasses:

The triangle lines indicate entry points to the lower level while the square dotted lines indicate the upper level is free of wall, while the lower level has lateral walls.
