As the crow flies is a straight line from point A to point B, it is the shortest way possible.

Basically, as the crow flies means you have to take out your compass and draw a thousand foot circle outside of every school, and exclude any pot shops from that area.

Line of travel means (to maybe over simplify) you exclude anything that can be reached in 1000 feet using google map directions.

So for instance, using path of travel, you could have a pot store in a property that touches a school property, as long as theres no direct way through, and you have to walk 1000 feet around the block to actually get there. As the crow flies, you can't have it there.

Or, for my home in particular, I am 3600 feet from the nearest school, by road. As the crow flies, its only approximately 400 feet away.
