By "tunnel trick" I presume that you mean tag it as a tunnel so that
it turns up dotted, despite not being a tunnel, nor ever will be a
tunnel?

That's not a trick, that's a dirty, dirty hack and should be stomped on hard.

If you want proposed roads to show up dotted then fix the renderer,
don't engage in phantom tagging.
