yes. I partly agree (for the smaller road) but bridges are IMHO a
different situation. I am interested in the span of the bridge and
therefore I would map the bridge from bridge bearing to bridge bearing
and would not generalize this. I am sure this would in lots of cases
solve the rendering issues you experienced.
