One of the advantages of using greys and tonal variations of the road fill colours for the casings of the roads is that it enables black casings to be used exclusively for the bridge variants. I think that using black casings for roads would NOT help improve readability as it would make the text of road names more difficult to pick out and read.

Better contrast would improve readability. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
