Equally roads don't usually run over buildings - which could be case if reversed. Basically auto-rendering of these two can not be correct for all cases/zooms.
Needs intelligence to say "nudge that building away from the road in this instance" - later?

Shouldn't buildings be rendered behind roads. Currently buildings are drawn above a road when the road is wide like a highway or major road. Obviously buildings don't cut into roads. If the road layer is on top this won't happen.
