[OSM-talk] New OSM Carto: White Roads & Road Widths

Hi

Two points regarding the recent OSM carto updates:

1. Tertiary roads being rendered white. This, by my count, brings the 
total rendered that colour to four: Tertiary, Residential, Service & 
Unclassified. Surely clearly distinguishing between very different 
classifications using colour make the map easier to comprehend? I'm 
struggling to understand how this can be considered an improvement. Is 
their an online explanation giving the reasons?

2. Road widths

As can be seen, there's a problem with the new increased widths. At 
interchanges individually mapped lanes are overlapping turning it into a 
blob of colour. Wouldn't it be beneficial if the width was reduced when 
the one-way tag is present?

Cheers
