How do you define summer holidays? surely on its own it is not helpful. It will require a database of when holidays are, based on location. A business which serves multiple local authorities will straddle all those areas holidays. Phil (trigpoint) -- Sent from my Nokia N9 On 14/03/2014 8:48

Setting the river to layer=-1, and the bridge to layer=0 (or 1) avoids a range of rendering artefacts when roads have casings (which they usually do). Good practice is only applying that to a shortish section of river, obviously. I don't know why the wiki has a statement against it - it always see

I don't think you should be required to check the river's layer tag. Validators should do this job for you, it's quite easy to write a rule for that. Here's an example: Given two ways that cross internally (excluding connections at endpoints), and considering the "layer value" defined explicitly i

Well, any information you add does help. If you could use something more specific than "dirt" ("gravel" is more precise, for instance), it would be even better.
