There is a decent chance that in near future I will have time to reimplement road styling in Default Map Style.
One of the most important problems in designing this style is that the same rules should work over entire globe, in drastically different locations. It is impossible to make style work great everywhere, but it is possible to have it well working in variety of places. So I want to start work from collecting place of various road situations. I am currently looking for well mapped areas with: I) Cities/towns/villages in non-European style (Africa, Asia...?) II) Where major roads are unpaved. III) Large amount of unpaved roads, used for motor traffic but major roads are paved. IV) Area with many pedestrian roads, living streets, footways... Note - I am looking for well mapped area. For example in case of unpaved roads I am not interested in place without tagged surface values or with highway=track used to mark unpaved roads (this tagging for renderer is unfortunately really popular). Also, I am certainly missing some important types of situations. Below is list of what I prepared so far. 1) European style town 2) European style city 3) high density of motorways and primary roads 4) large area with high road density of many types 5) city with high road density 6) junction of dual carriageways 7) roads with tram lines 8) fully mapped residential area 9) large park/city forest with varied highway types 10) area with large amount of footways 11) spaghetti junction 12) rural area where highway=footway are important 13) rocky mountains with tourism routes 14) forested mountains with tourism routes 15) big pedestrian area 16) large amount of private highways 17) raceway 18) long tunnel 19) long bridge 20) many living streets 21) steps (#1307) 22) Junction=motorway_junction names (#1272) 23) special cases reported to bugtracker [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/51.2225/18.5594 [2] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.2333/20.9976 [3] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=37.413889&mlon=126.566667&zoom=15#map=11/51.3413/6.9097 [4] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.5147&mlon=-0.1126#map=10/51.5147/-0.1126 [5] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.5117&mlon=-0.0761#map=14/51.5117/-0.0761 [6] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0739&mlon=19.9451#map=15/50.0739/19.9451 [7] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0509&mlon=19.9503#map=15/50.0509/19.9503 [8] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0296&mlon=19.9189#map=16/50.0296/19.9189 [9] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0559&mlon=19.8486#map=14/50.0559/19.8486 [10] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=50.0631&mlon=19.9584#map=14/50.0631/19.9584 [11] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.5102&mlon=-1.8641#map=16/52.5102/-1.8641 [12] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/53.2134/-1.7983 [13] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/49.2066/20.0534 [14] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/49.5502/20.1640 [15], [16] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/41.90304/12.45402 [17] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=42.160833&mlon=12.369167&zoom=15#map=15/42.1608/12.3691 [18] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.971944&mlon=7.368333&zoom=15#map=12/60.9933/7.3818 [19] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=38.7589&mlon=-9.0387&zoom=15#map=13/38.7602/-9.0588 [20] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/50.0773/20.0382 [21] https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/37.44711/24.94306 [22] http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/49.6328/5.9589 [23] https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/labels/roads In addition - it is necessary to consider labels in various writing systems - Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Armenian, Chinese, Japanese (what else?)...
