You could also map it with lanes=4+foot=no+bicycle=no+agricultural=no and let the renderer decide whether these things are worthy of special representation or not. As a map user, I'm left with a bad impression of a map with such discontinuities, it looks messy and unprofessional. None of the commercial alternatives to OSM have such artifacts. You may also look for other maps of Czechia on Google Images and most won't show artifacts like that either. Also look at the classification of England, Australia and Russia in OSM and you won't find any similar artifacts. I doubt their roads never change structure over long distances. > On 23 February 2018 at 23:18, Fernando Trebien <fernando.treb...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Wouldn't the estimate change often?
