I think z14 is better to start show them than z16 (although not as strong as we have now, that's sure - your proposition of lighter color is good probably). At this zoom level it's interesting to know what type of industrial area is it exactly, because it's not competing for user's attention anymore. Even in big city typical "quarter" (between suburb and neighbourhood) doesn't have more important industrial structures, so it makes sense to show they are dominant here. |

The problem with showing it earlier is formation of blob with merging tracks (even with really narrow lines). Also, z14 is IMHO too early - at least structures that I found seem to not be important enough to be prominently displayed so early (and dark blob will be prominent, at least I have no good ideas how to avoid this). z15 would make sense and that was planned zoom level of appearance but I failed to find display that would not be bad. Overall, I think that z16 is reasonable. |

I think a lighter "blob" doesn't hurt, because one doesn't have to see the separate tracks, just the impression that there are a lot of them. Could you show one such example at z14 and z15 (probably one of those you have just rendered here)? |
|
At z14 Crich is too dark and Cracow is good, but maybe still too distracting for someone tracking the roads (clustering makes color stronger). At z15 both are really good for me and doesn't disturb me, so I prefer starting to show them from that level. |

I have no problems with this new batch of examples. You're quick, BTW! 😄 |
|
z15 looks good. z14 is to early. gread job 👍 |
|
After looking at these examples again I am convinced that showing it at z15 is a good idea. |
|
Looks good! The zoom level for the labels needs also to be adapted - see Crich z15. |

@math1985 Crich at z15 is tricky (I had the same reaction) - this place has ways mapped as [railway=tram; service=yard; highway=pedestrian; name=foobar]. Pedestrian and its name is rendered at z15. See for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/151290712#map=19/53.09051/-1.48585 Names of railway tracks are currently not rendered anywhere. |

I love these changes! |
Sorry, I missed that it was also tagged as highway. |

(note - single track in Jerusalem, where missing service tag is visible is now fixed - http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/217849915#map=19/31.80890/35.23993 )
