Replace the existing highway= types (=motorway; =primary etc) with highway=1 to =5?, with 1 being the existing =motorway, down to 5 being all the minor streets in a town. If you have a look at https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-28.0643/153.4191 (& I'm pretty sure everywhere around the World will look fairly similar?), the pink Pacific Motorway (=motorway) would become =1; the orange / tan major arterial roads (=primary: 2; 3; 7; 40; 50) =2; yellow connecting roads (=secondary) =3; white roads through suburbs (=tertiary) =4; all the grey minor roads (=residential / unclassified): residential in the suburbs, commercial areas in the CBD, roads inside industrial areas etc =5. Would you need =6 for service roads (driveways, parking lanes etc), or would they stay as the current=service designation? Setting levels like this & rendering them this way, would also get rid of the problem of roads not being visible in remote areas because a "secondary" road won't render - even if it's only hard-packed dirt, it would still be the level 1 or 2 road in this area! Feasible? Thanks Graeme
