Check out our MAP files for the City of Amsterdam reference map at https://github.com/Amsterdam/mapserver/blob/develop/kbk50.map for the 1:50K map. The GROUP "lijnen" is the one you are looking for: it renders all casing from streets to regional thoroughfares, followed by the fills for the same lines. We then render all railroads and then the highways come last: again, we render the casings for all lines and then we finish with the fills in its own layer. This dataset doesn't contain an attribute for z-ordering unfortunately. For the 1:5K and larger, there is the https://github.com/Amsterdam/mapserver/blob/develop/bgt.map MAP file that does have an attribute for z-ordering that we use to create views per z-level, e.g. "bgt.wegdeel_vlak0" for z-level 0. Results can at https://data.amsterdam.nl/. Hope these MAP files give you some ideas how to go about rendering transportation networks.

Most of the battle is identifying the over/under in the data. Have you got that figured out? Id think it would be a matter of sorting: under, neither under or over and then over. Probably with no line caps.

All, Im looking for general techniques in how to best manage rendering of over/under roadway and rail road bridges, etc. My first thought was to use some sort of special overlay layer to handle this. But maybe a database appraoch might be better. I also start to fall into the problem of having a lot of transporation related layers, Streets and Railroads obviously, but the not the so obvious are Alleys, Sidewalks, Park Trails/Paths, Bike Routes, tunnels, etc. How to make these all stack nicely. I generally maintain these things all in thier own grouping right now as separate datasets. They originate from separate authors and are maintained that way too. Which is why I was thinking that a DB approach might be the best to make the Z-indexing work. Thoughts?
