Layer is only relevant for defining the relative order of intersecting (crossing) objects. If the objects don't intersect, or have a common node, their layers don't imply anything about their relative or absolute height. > On the western end of the tunnel the adjacent way ends, this should be > no problem with the layers; on the eastern end there is a T junction. > > Do you think, this tunnel is OK the way it is or should someone add a > small piece of way on layer 0 at the eastern end next to the T-junction > to avoid a T-junction of different layers? It is ok as it is.
