I'm thinking about changes in rendering of protected areas on osm-carto and I wanted to give community a hint, because it's a popular kind of objects. There is a fresh discussion about it from this comment on:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/603#issuecomment-347879897" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/gravitystor<wbr>m/openstreetmap-carto/issues/<wbr>603#issuecomment-347879897</a><br>
<br>
In short:<br>
<br>
1. Currently leisure=nature_reserve (old scheme) and boundary=* (new scheme) are frequently tagged in parallel, and it looks like the old scheme is used as a hack just to make it visible on default map.<br>
<br>
2. The old scheme is too generic and it causes visual clutter, because all of the protected areas are displayed at once.<br>
<br>
3. New scheme has many classes defined, which would allow us to fine tune the rendering (different zoom levels and only some of them).<br>
<br>
4. The new scheme looks like more general than the old one, so it's all that's we really need.<br>
<br>
Therefore I think rendering of leisure=nature_reserve should be dropped on osm-carto, so boundary=* would take over. In this case the areas should be tagged with a new scheme to be visible there. That might lead to deprecation of leisure=nature_reserve in the future.</blockquote><div><br></div><div> I'm OK with this. I wouldn't mind some kind of subtle fill where appropriate. Class 24 areas probably should render something closer to administrative boundaries currently do. Any hatch in that case would need to be insanely subtle in order to not overwhelm other areas that have hatches or it'd just make a real mess of things in the western US (especially in my area where it's a 2-3 hour drive in the shortest direction to leave such a region).</div></div></div></div>
