So how would bridge+layer=1 => bridge+layer=2 transition happen, given 
such a non-sense rule. Definately a road continuing is supposedly "on the 
same layer" as the previous part? Does it imply layer is cast to stone for 
the whole road network because all connections to a node are definately 
sharing the level at the node. Or what did you mean?!?
