Constantinoqle

This is the B-Side of a pair of 'nesting clue' puzzles. This puzzle was actually set first, for round one of Agent's Puzzle Agency Championship. I hope you enjoy them!

A-Side: Constantinople (U-Bahn with Nesting Clues).
B-Side: Constantinoqle (V-Bbhn witg Nestimg Ckues).

• Knapp daneben: All clues (inside and outside the grid) are off by exactly 1.
• U-Bahn: Draw some vertical and horizontal line segments between the centers of cells so that the resulting network is connected and has no dead ends. Clues outside the grid indicate how many turns, straights, branches and crosses occur in the corresponding row or column, independent of rotation. For example, an outside clue of "3" indicates that its corresponding line shape occurs two or four times in its row or column.
• Nesting clues: Numbers on vertices in the grid indicate the minimum number of times a path from the clue to the grid border must cross the U-Bahn network. Paths are considered to travel orthogonally and diagonally between vertices of the grid. For example, a clue of "1" indicates that the minimally-crossing path from the clue to the grid border either doesn't cross the network, or crosses it twice.

These images show some non-knapp daneben valid nesting clues. Intuitively, nesting clues count "how nested" the clue is within the network. The left side shows a loop network compatible with the given nesting clues, and the right side demonstrates why the nesting clues are satisfied.
