Look at http://xn--pnvkarte-m4a.de/ <http://öpnvkarte.de/> and in particular the joins between routed ways at high zoom. Andy does all the routes on a separate layer to remove all the overlaps (some kind of filtering; dunno the details), then recombines. Yes this would be good to do on Mapnik, but I surmise it's non-trivial or they'd have done it.
