[OSM-talk] layer tag issue in mapnik settings?

[Oscar Orbe]

hello,
thanks, yes I think "bridge" describes it better than "building" in this case: http://bit.ly/egFnU8

IMHO highway=pedestrian is not correct (it is used for streets that
are "pedestrianalized"), I'd go for highway=footway as suggested by
Richard Mann.

Mapnik has chosen not to cover highways by buildings, and there is no
way to override this by layers. I am not sure that the T at H approach is
better, because the don't display the covered highway, so it remains
unclear whether your way is obstructed by the building or not.

Have a look at the covered-proposal (currently not rendered). This
would be done by putting covered=yes on the way-segment underneath the
building.

cheers,
Martin
