[OSM-dev] Why is ford=yes not rendered in the default style?

[Dave F.]

Hi

@Holger: Could you explain why it's "technically not possible"? It seems 
strange just this one node can't be rendered.


This icon was proposed & received general approval:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/118#issuecomment-67555409 


I'm unsure why it's not gained favour with those who upgrade the carto. 
It's the most relevant idea I've seen so far. Waves for the water & 
lines to represent the way. There's no need to show cars as many (most?) 
fords are for non vehicular ways.

The current icon (on highway=ford only) shows a double headed arrow. 
Icons should be relevant to what they're trying to indicate I don't see 
the connection between arrows & fords. Nothing needs sizing or measuring 
& for obvious reasons, it can't be to indicate the flow direction.
