Hiking style unpaved service highways #124

Closed hungerburg closed 3 years ago

hungerburg commented 4 years ago

In the neighbouring province, many tracks are tagged highway=service, surface=unpaved. As such they are hard to spot in hiking mode. It would be nice to render those just the same as tracks. I think that this may be of use all over the world?

This is a tagging problem. Service roads are small roads within compact territory for local access. I can not emphasize them otherwise all cities will become a mess. One thing I can do is make all minor roads equal in hiking mode.

Reading https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=service and looking at the picture - the tagging conforms 100% :) Its true though, there the sub-tags make a difference, e.g. service=driveway is only of interest for parcel services.

Reading further, there should not be need for much enumeration, if any service=* is set, it is small. otherwise its a single lane road.

Closing this issue, as this indeed only becomes visible in hiking mode, because in activity=none the paths become invisible too, so there will not be dangling paths then. Will prepare a patch for hiking mode that accounts for that.
