Not on the overview map, no - we actually removed the cores of the 
residential streets and drew them just as gray lines on that scale. 
Looks a bit like a U.S. city map that way.

I am already working on a simple collision avoidance for road names and 
refs, nothing fancy but it should solve those typical dual carriageway 
problems.

> Can you bring some to SOTM. 

Will do!
