Hi! I'm looking for some alternatives to map tunnels and bridges that contain several ways. I'm not really happy with the proposed relation [1]. Is there any other approach for this? I'm asking myself why don't we simply map the outline of the bridge/tunnel (the latter may be more difficult to

Hi, A few problems with the current approach: 1) When several things pass over the same bridge (eg, highway=secondary, highway=cycleway and highway=footway; or even just two independent lanes), renderers currently draw multiple bridges. 2) In areas where structures (buildings, paved areas, piers,
