In general roads have been drawn too wide. While it is difficult to draw roads "on scale" in terms of width, the new mapnik style is too wide.
Look here at level 15: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.98053&lon=4.36659&zoom=15&layers=B0 00FTF where residential roads start to overlap. And here (this was already in the previous style) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.98473&lon=4.37146&zoom=17&layers=B0 00FTF where cycle ways aside the Schieweg road are invisible due to the width of the road.. Of course some width is necessary for labeling, but the font size can be further reduced or printing the name can be equal to or exceed the width of the road for the length of the name. This is already partly the case with the y and g descenders but could also be done for the higher parts of capital letters and thelike.
