highway=proposed should not be drawn like highway=construction without construction=*

[matthijsmelissen]

The tag highway=proposed is currently drawn like highway=construction without construction=*.

For a nicer look, highway=proposed could be rendered with dashed outline of the proposed=* highway-type tag. Example rendering: https://trac.openstreetmap.org/attachment/ticket/2768/proposed.png

I like the fainter rendering, the first time I came across this it confused me: I knew there wasn't a road or anything being built so had no idea what it was. Just to throw it out there, is it suitable to be rendered in a general purpose map, before ground is broken, etc?

Are there other discussions of the value of the tag? Even the wiki article discourages the use of the tag except for 'exceptional circumstances' and subject to discussion, which doesn't clearly explain a real world scenario or use case well!

I'd also prefer a fainter rendering. Problem with this solution and also the solutions proposed in #345 is the missing proposed=* tag in the render database.

It's good to have the proposals in the OSM data, but I'd also favour less prominent rendering.
Here is another example, the southern part of the city motorway actually being built now, the northern
extension not even decided upon (financally and politically).

Having read through the discussion on #345 it seems like a better place for this.

I agree proposed should not render like construction.
I seem to remember that the code/ordering around this was complex/not well understood (here be dragons as @gravitystorm would say) so might be risky to change this at this time.

Also we don't have the constructin key so we can't let the rendering depend on the type of construction road, at the moment.

Also we don't have the constructin key

We do have construction, do you mean proposed?

[matthijsmelissen]

Sorry, that's what I meant.
