[Talk-us] A new tracing layer for TIGER 2013

[Kam, Kristen -(p)]

I am going to second Paul's comment. The colour of the TIGER 2013 tracing layer is a bit too similar to the residential and secondary ways shown in JOSM. Would be nice if you could change the color to gray or white-a color that isn't close to any colors used to visualize ways in JOSM.

Best,

Kristen

There are only a few colors involved: streets are yellow and railroads are blue, and both are a little brighter if they have changed since the 2006 data. Service roads are drawn a little thinner than the rest, following the example of the 2012 TIGER layer.

 More contrast, please!  I can't tell the difference between the colors.  The change in colors are too subtle to tell apart.  And that's coming from me, I have a JOSM stylesheet that colors maxspeed=* to color the same as JOSM colors GPX for car speeds, and I can tell the difference between 30, 35, 40, and 45 MPH at a glance.
