Re: [Talk-GB] Rendering kissing gates in OSM

2017-10-10 Thread Dave F 

The loss of colour on tertiary roads is one area where the style has become 
less friendly in rural areas.


Indeed.
The fading of paths (even those with surface tag) makes it difficult to 
view without zooming right in, is no better

It certainly can, but as you can see it's slow moving:

I would go further and say they are probably an England and Wales concept based 
on that even in Scotland rights of way law is different. The same goes for 
stiles.

Andy's map does render them and is the best solution for countryside mapping. 

I think getting things like stiles and kissing gates into the standard style 
would be infinitely improbable. The style does seem to be urban centric. The 
loss of colour on tertiary roads is one area where the style has become less 
friendly in rural areas.
