cartography. What you're asking cannot be done with only tagging as<br>
you will have ways which look exactly the same but will have to be<br>
removed in one place and will remain in the map in another place. What<br>
you're asking is accomplished in CARTOGRAPHY by "road network<br>
pruning". It checks density/class of roads and removes minor ones at<br>
the places of high density. It is one of cartographic generalisation<br>
functions. All important generalisation functions take additional<br>
heavy pre-processing and that is probably a reason why OpenStreetMap<br>
does not have any Cartography projects yet.<br><br></blockquote><div>Very well put! If I understand correctly, to do this without heavy pre-processing, the information would have to be in the tags? </div><div>Would it have to be in the tags of every individual way, or would a tag on an encompassing area (e.g. landuse=residential) be sufficient?</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
