I find nabble.com is really good for being able to follow threaded discussions on the OSM lists without having ten tons of messages dumped in your inbox every day. :) I've crossposted this to talk-gb so you can reply there. > So to get back on track, and I think the answer is clear.

And if so, does the current tagging > scehem simply require a render change to allow this Yep. The tag "highway=byway" has fallen out of use. It doesn't really make sense to anyone outside the UK. Instead, in the UK, those of us who like tagging byways tend to add "designation=restricted_byway" or "designation=byway_open_to_all_traffic" (which are the two legal categories, and imply access) to a more physical tag - usually "highway=bridleway" or "highway=track". So if you wanted a map that highlights byways, you'd just need to make sure that the stylesheet noticed those tags and chose the rendering occasionally. I _think_ Nick W's Freemap does this already. Personally I think it's fairly unlikely for either Mapnik or Osmarender, because they're worldwide stylesheets. But you can always ask! cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
