<div dir="ltr">I would never "cut in the data". I would just file a bug report with the renderer.

I surveyed near the new Virginie Loveling building near the train<br>
station in Ghent and mapped everything accordingly a few months ago.<br>
<br>
There are three levels of public road and the result on the map looks<br>
extremely ugly and unreadable:<br>

3D maps can't handle it either (e.g. F4:<br>
<a href="http://demo.f4map.com/#lat=51.0367277&lon=3.7088474&zoom=19&camera.theta=71.119&camera.phi=94.252" target="_blank">http://demo.f4map.com/#lat=51.0367277&lon=3.7088474&zoom=19&camera.theta=71.119&camera.phi=94.252</a>)<br>
<br>
The fact that highway=pedestrian is now *always* rendered on top of<br>
buildings (no matter what the layer=* values are) makes things worse.<br>
<br>
If you haven't been there, I guess you have no idea how this place<br>
looks in real life from looking at the map. I can't think of any<br>
application that would be able to do something useful with it.<br>
Routing works a bit but if you cannot read the map or get useful<br>
spoken instructions that's not really helpful.<br>
<br>
This has left me wondering ... Should we either cut in the provided<br>
data or wait for renderers and applications to be able to handle these<br>
kind of situations? A possible improvement could be something like<br>
Google Maps does: it shows a layer chooser when you come near a<br>
multi-layer place, both indoor and outdoor IIRC. This seems<br>
complicated to implement in the current setup and I don't expect any<br>
OSM map at all to be handling these situations gracefully soon.<br>
<br>
There are also problems near the Bruges train station, though it looks<br>
a bit less ugly at first sight.<br>

Any ideas?<br>
