Again, are we trying to make a map look photo realistic?
To me a map is a set of abstract ideas that express information about
reality that can't be seen from photo imagery. Mapping road widths can
be done by estimate based on a number of factors that are both vector
and meta information, I fail to see how presenting an area will
actually present any more information to a person. If they want such
information and if there is aerial imagery they can just switch tile
sets.
in the case of the race track example, using a way as a centerline and
including
width= tags should encompass what's needed. i can represent escape roads,
optional chicanes, pit roads, access & paddock roads, etc., quite well
with those
tools.
