We get increasing feedbacks on my local list that the new rendering rule is counter-intuitive (to not say that it is considered as a bug). Now roads are rendered on top of buildings even when roads are really under buildings or underground (tunnels). Why not when your primary interest is for

MapQuest Open seems to have a good compromise in this case--the tunnel is rendered above the buildings, but is partly transparent (to allow the user to see other features) and has more prominent dashed casing (to indicate it is below-ground). On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 10:56 AM, Matthijs Melissen
