Highway areas

[sabas]

Highways tagged as a polygon don't get rendered. Example http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=20/44.41164/8.93143&layers=H

This made me also realize that parking areas are not rendered either. .. As can be seen in my posted link above. . .While this can be seen as an understandable design choice it impacts many areas highly where the parking aisles have not been mapped (which can be seen as an encouragement to map parking isles, of course). .. Anyways. .. Just a note...

The parkings are rendered with a very light contrast #EEE; vs #F7F6F1; ....
