Abstract
We find a lower bound for the proportion of face boundaries of an embedded graph that are nearly light (that is, they have bounded length and at most one vertex of large degree). As an application, we show that every sufficiently large k‐crossing‐critical graph has crossing number at most 2__k__ + 23. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 53: 151–156, 2006

## Abstract The structure of previous known infinite families of crossing‐critical graphs had led to the conjecture that crossing‐critical graphs have bounded bandwidth. If true, this would imply that crossing‐critical graphs have bounded degree, that is, that they cannot contain subdivisions of __
