Red is radar coverage, green is other surveillance coverage. The yellow pins in the previous image show radar and ADS-B outlets.

I'd take it as a guide only because there are plenty of places subject to anomalous propagation that have variable radar coverage. A bit like the coverage maps the mobile companies publish really.

Self separation around a common point (as in one you're all flying to) like an aerodrome is easy.
