Hi Chris, I have been following this thread for a few days and have one question although it might be too late to ask it. Do you want to drop the tag "culvert" in favor of "tunnel" altogether? I see from the discussion that some people prefer "tunnel=culvert" in the cases where I have used "culvert=yes" and "layer=-1".
I have done some mapping in Alaska and there are many, many culverts in use as drainage ditches, etc., all over the state. To call a culvert, which is usually a heavy, corrugated, galvanized metal pipe from 1 to 6 feet in diameter, a tunnel is a bit of a stretch IMO. I can live with the change but wanted to pass along my thoughts to you.
