Currently Mapnik renders highway=track it does cycleway/bridleway/footway, instead of as a (small) road. IMO it should be rendered like a road. Osmarender does a good job of this, using a brown casing instead of a black one.

I have a snippet of some mapnik rendering rules which I found look very nice which I can provide if it would help.

Punting to Steve, but this is largely a matter of cartographic taste.

Indeed...
Osmarenders casing is to thin for my taste :-) You may mix tracks with roads, because of less difference of thin brown line and thin grey line ...

And not only routing software should not mix public service/unclassified/... with tracks not for public use with motorcars, also persons viewing our maps should not mix them :-)

Do tracks today appear the same as they did when this ticket was opened 3 years ago? I think there was a single track style back then (6px white casing, 2px brown dash core), not the multiple versions there are now.

Not agreeing that it should render more like a road, except possibly grade1 tracks.

In light of the age of this ticket, I'm closing it for now.
