Me?
I have a track .. that is 'covered' by an over hanging natural cliff. 
I've not mapped it yet .. as I have not personnally been there ... and 
it cannot be seen from a satellite view.

For things that are 'covered' by a bridge ... tag the other thing as a 
bridge .. not tag tunnel on the thing going under the bridge.

Roofs for petrol stations get tagged building=roof, layer=1 .. and the 
'attached' building gets tagged building=yes or building=retail.
