Good idea. The width of the bridge would have to  be larger than the road so it 
sticks out a bit at well...

Hi,

If you draw it in two layers, one with the colour and width you want for the 
bridges, and the other with the road line to go on top, you will essentially 
cover up the end caps.  The bridges layer would have to come first in the 
mapfile, followed by the road line layer.

I don't believe this will get you the desired effect. You'll get the lines but 
you'll also get the line end caps. That's the real trick, turning those off. 
I'm not sure that you can.

The feature that he is referencing is just a line segment with an additional 
attribute of 'bridge=yes'.



    * bridge: yes

    * highway: trunk

    * layer: 1

    * name: Manchester Road

    * ref: A56



If you just wanted to use the road data and not create an additional bridges 
data set, you would likely need to split up the road features so that the 
segment that is a bridge is an individual feature.



I haven't worked with any shapefile extracts from OSM, so the data may already 
be like this.



Assuming that you have a line shapefile that has a column called 'bridge', you 
could set up two classes in your roads layer.  The first one would have an 
expression like ('[bridge] = 'yes') and the second class wouldn't have an 
expression so it would catch the rest of the lines.



In the first class, you would stack two lines, the bottom one being the color 
of your bridge and wider than the roads line that will go on top of it.



David.

What feature type are bridges represented with in OpenStreetMap?

Hallo list,



how can I render road bridges, like in mapnik?

(Example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.398022&lon=-2.352222&zoom=18&layers=null)

Which symbol can I use?



Greets,

Tom
