Request to restore rendering for highway=track + area=yes #4637

For what it's worth, this is a real but relatively rare feature in real life. This particular area is a brownfield which used to be a residential area before all the buildings were razed - in most cities something like this would be removed or replaced, but the amount of areas that look like this in my city increases year to year. So if the number of features mapped the prevalence on the ground, this would be one which might be decreasing in most places but increasing in a few. Usually you can't just drive around in circles on a tract of land enough to make shapes like this in the middle of a city but here this happens |
I am aware. I am just saying, the rendering of I would also say that turning areas like this could just be |
How widely something is mapped has nothing to do with whether or not it should be rendered in carto. I myself have added more This is not an example of |
Expected behavior
At the moment, some values of
highway
may be rendered as areas, while others may not. Most notably, pedestrian streets and service roads. There has historically been some confusion about why ahighway
would be mapped as an area, but as I understand it the reason to render this for service roads is that some of them are not navigated linearly and can be used for maneuvering in any direction. I think the same is true for track roads, but these no longer render.Actual behavior
highway=track
only renders for linear ways.Screenshots with links illustrating the problem
If you take a look at the grey-ish blob here on the right in the satellite imagery, that was created by vehicles maneuvering around on it in the same way that the linear tracks which have been mapped here were made. I would say it makes sense to show that area as a solid fill of the track color.
