So, ground level is level 0? I had wondered about that, as the scanty documentation that I have seen didn't make that point clear.

The should cross, not connect, but the higher way one should be split along the length of the bridge and marked layer=1, bridge=yes (unless the footway is more a tunnel under the line, in which case instead split the footway and mark the sub-railway section as layer=-1, tunnel=yes) (This isn't JOSM specific BTW) David _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
