That's why you need to know the lower of the two classifications being linked (so you can put the link just under the lower one)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 4:11 PM, AJ Ashton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aj.ashton@gmail.com" target="_blank">aj.ashton@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I would guess that, yes, this is the intention. The example you point<br>
out is only minorly aesthetically displeasing. But if links were<br>
rendered on top of unclassified roads, the situation of a link merging<br>
into an unclassified (rather than passing through) would look much<br>
worse. Example:<br>

<br>
Granted, links don't feed into unclassifieds as often as they do<br>
higher classifications of road, but it still happens a lot.<br>
