Narrative:

The teb 5 departure runway 24 on commercial chart is confusing and misleading as when to climb out of 1500 ft to 2000 ft or your assigned altitude. There are two different boxes; one for lateral navigation which also includes an altitude; and another box for vertical altitudes. In a busy environment such as teb at first glance the first box seems as though it has all criteria for the SID because lateral and vertical information is included. The solution would be to include all information lateral and vertical in 1 box.
