"nonredundant spatial information"

What's that when it's at home?
Information about the relationship of two physical objects to each
other that isn't otherwise in the data.

In other words, if you have two bridge=yes ways crossing without an
intersection node, that tells you nothing about which one is the
higher bridge. layer=* adds that information.

That's what I meant. Maybe I should have said 'crosses over'
