[Talk-ca] Motorways tagging at ferry terminals/boarders

[Matthew Buchanan]

I prefer the Swartz Bay scheme because it is more reflective of the
reality on the ground. I was just looking at these terminals last
night!

Speaking of ferry terminals, I've been adding more detail to the
Tsawwassen ferry terminal. http://goo.gl/2vzKx  There is a situation
where there is an overhead walkway, which I've mapped as a building
with layer = 1, with some roads underneath, then on top of the walkway
is an elevated road (layer 2) leading to the upper vehicle loading
ramp. How shall I fix it so the building is above the road?

I've had other situations where roads pass under or through buildings
and it never renders the way I like, such as hotel entrances and
vehicle inspection buildings.
