In an attempt to avoid this kind of "false tagging for rendering" I have a
submitted an addition to the mapnik style tonight.
It will render highway=construction or highway=proposed from z12 upwards.
It will also render a text label (based on name=) for z13 upwards.
Jamie's more sophisticated suggestions make sense but are not easily to render
at the moment. Perhaps we can work towards that time-based approach later.
For now it would make a lot of sense for people to revisit roads under
construction they have tagged and follow this suggested scheme:
highway=construction
construction=foo (motorway, trunk, primary or whatever - if known)
name=Foo bypass, due to open Dec 08 (or whatever)
PS: I haven't looked at the file but hope this doesn't throw osmarender rules
out, which I know picks something up to render construction
Cheers
STEVE

By "tunnel trick" I presume that you mean tag it as a tunnel so that
it turns up dotted, despite not being a tunnel, nor ever will be a
tunnel?
That's not a trick, that's a dirty, dirty hack and should be stomped on
hard.
If you want proposed roads to show up dotted then fix the renderer,
don't engage in phantom tagging.
