I agree. > (2) Render mini_roundabout and traffic_signals consistently. Currently > mini_roundabouts appear at 15 and traffic_signals at 17. I propose both > appear at 16. I disagree. Traffic lights are not that significant in forward-planning your navigation - that is, if I see a crossroads I can see that I need to go right, but I don't need immediate information about the traffic signals. The mini-roundabout symbol, IMHO exists because, just as with full-sized roundabouts, you want to see a roundabout-looking thing on the map. The older symbol was just a scaled-down version of what a real roundabout might look like - they allow you to infer the difference between a crossroads and a roundabout. I wouldn't object to reverting lower zoom levels to the old symbol, though (especially since the new one has the wrong traffic-direction for driving on the left). > (3) Render names of restaurants at zoom 17 (icon is already present).

In Ireland, a _lot_ of places are villages rather than towns. > (5) highway=tertiary currently appears in zoom 12. I'd like to promote > this to zoom 11.

Same reason as above. > (6) Render shop=<anything> with same icon as supermarket and name at zoom 17 Agree.
