To a degree. Good routes between important destinations tend to get good roads. Other places, good routes between important destinations get bad roads, but they're still the best roads around. I think we need to start splitting up these attributes into different tags and leave it to editors to offer the appropriate combinations for a given country. Then carto can handle different coutries differently. Preferable two renderings, one aimed at construction (motorway down to dirt track) and the other aimed at "good route, shame about the surface." I now have a quote from Calvin and Hobbes going through my head: "And while I'm dreaming, I'd like a little pony." It's probably insoluble but if it is soluble it will take us decades to agree on a solution. -- Paul
