Hide highway ramps at low zoom levels

[1ec5]

At zoom level 7 (vector zoom level 6), highway=motorway_link ways are still visible, but due to their typically short length and proximity to each other, they appear on the map as awkward “knots” along the freeway. At this zoom level, the highway ramps can only communicate that there’s an interchange at the location, but it’s too low of a zoom level for users to tell the interchanges apart:

Consider filtering out highway=motorway_link at this zoom level. Perhaps also at z8 (vector z7), as long as it doesn’t result in too many gaps between highway=motorway ways. (Unfortunately, we’ve yet to map some notable examples of long freeway-to-freeway ramp connections, such as North Carolina Highway 74 and U.S. Route 421 in the Winston-Salem area.)

Ok I think it aws mostly the casing that needed hiding until higher zooms, it's now looking better now that I adjusted that:

Before:

After (currently in map-styles):

will be in next production release

Oh I just need to adjust some zoom lvel styling as last bit:

Okay updated that here now:

But now noticing z8 needs work:

ok z8 now resolved:
