There was a proposal to set default layer=1 for bridge=yes and layer=-1
for tunnel=yes. It was rejected by a clear majority of those who voted:

My thanks. I'd agree with the comment which Frederik Ramm made (while
abstaining) on that proposal: If the idea was to automatically add a layer tag
to bridges and tunnels (or to remove it if present), I would oppose it (for
reasons he gave).
This is however not the "implicit layer tags" argument which Richard Z. gives,
which he suggests means:. "so every tunnel and bridge should now have one". We
model bridges and tunnels in a specific way in OSM which means we do not need
to add additional layer tags (but feel free if you do want to).
I have always understood that we do not use a layer tag for road/waterway
crossings, as osm help also suggests here:
