`streets`' `rail=bool` value is unnessesarly included at high zoom levels

Open CommanderStorm opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

Currently, the rail property is incuded at zoom 5+. It is documented as

true for railways

THis does not make sense, as the first railways=* feature (rails with service) will show up at 8+.

Assuming that kind=motorways can not be a rail.

I would like to propose to include this property only at 8+

I'd rather drop this field completely. We should either have users

  • use kind to determine if something is a railway or
  • drop kind and have highway and railway fields
