Hi. Take a look at Saint-Petersburg map at zoom 13: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=59.9496&lon=30.2774&zoom=13&layers=B000FTF
As you can see, on islands there are nine labels with street names, but plenty of space for such labels on many streets and avenues. Those names are not rendered, obviously, because most streets consist of several ways, due to routing and public transport reasons. Is there any plan, or just a thought, to merge ways on a rendering stage to display more street name labels? If not, why? Is there a renderer which does that? Thank you.
