[OSM-talk] Osmarender 5

[David Earl]

I'm finding it hard to tell the difference between service roads and 
residential/unclassified roads on the new osmarender. I see they are 
very slightly narrower, but it is almost indistinguishable. How about a 
slight further narrowing and lighter shade of grey for the casement at 
z17, and significantly narrower at 16 and above? The width is causing 
particular problems for service roads within car parks - the car park 
area can be almost obliterated by the road at z16 and above e.g.

is swamped by its internal service road system at z15.

Also, if you must persist with these copyright names, then (a) can you 
explicitly drop them on bridges - they always lie on top of the rail 
line or river the bridge is crossing so get visually mixed up with them 
and are pretty much unreadable, e.g.

and (b) shouldn't they also be on footpaths and cycleways too - why 
should road users get the credit but not those on foot.
