an unclassified road in my town isn't going to have the same volume of traffic
as a residential road in a city.

No - not yet, but since this is a new suburb and people will be building

I'd better do it sooner rather than later.

As far as I'm aware, all railtrails are designed predominantly for bicycle
use. This is a reflection of both the distances usually involved and the users
they attract. I do see the occasional walker on a railtrail, and these, horse

Hmm, yeah the Wiki entry shows that highway=ford can be a node or a way. Since
fords tend to be in isolated places it's rare that somebody would require a
zoom level which would differentiate between a node or way ford.

without the little extensions which stick out at either end.
So, basically just a black edge highlighting.
Well, how about blue highlighting around the way?
I've got a major assignment due tomorrow which is taking the bulk of my time
but once it's done I might have a play with Inkscape and try to come up with a
ford symbol.

I don't know if that would contrast enough to be noticable.
The other option is if we assume any ways that are tagged highway=ford are
mostly highway=unclassified,
