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

[nebulon42]

You should try to downsize the icon you referred to to 14x14px and see 
if it works for you. I have tried and it didn't, but otherwise the idea 
is quite good. As alternative that works on 14px I came up with the 
current icon and it was discussed at quite some length (55 comments). 
But the "measuring" theme popped up before, see 
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1625 for 
details. I'm still open for specific improvements that go beyond general 
descriptions of how it could look like.
