Bunker (golf)
A hazard is an area of a golf course in the sport of golf which provides a difficult obstacle, which may be of two types: (1) penalty areas such as lakes and rivers; and (2) bunkers. A penalty area was previously referred to as a water hazard. Special rules apply to play balls that fall in a hazard.

Trap points are used to protect rail terminology#M, main railway lines from unauthorised vehicles, moving onto them from rail siding, sidings or branch lines. Either of these track arrangements may lead the vehicles into a sand drag or safety siding, track arrangements which are used to safely stop them after they have left the main tracks. A derail is another device used for the same purposes as catch and trap points. Trap points ''Trap points'' are found at the exit from a rail siding, siding or where a secondary track joins a main line. A facing and trailing, facing turnout is used to prevent any unauthorised movement that ...
