PS. Why are trunk_links rendered above primary/secondary streets. It
make
ugly junctions.

This has bothered me for a while now but I have not got round to fixing
it. It does look ugly and I think is quite easily fixed. At the moment
rendering of mway/primary/trunk and their respective foo_link variants
is dealt with by the same lines of code in the mapnik style. The answer
is probably to separate the foo_link instances out to a separate layer
and stack it to draw BEFORE all other major road instances. It is on my
list of TODOs but the number of instances of code to change involved
(diff renders for mway, primary, trunk per zoom scale, plus all the
bridge and tunnel variants) has always put me off actually doing it so
far.
