There should be a way to add zoom hinting. I have added some footways to access several houses yesterday. Now, from a distant zoom level in the main map, you can't even see the houses because there's dashed path line fragments everywhere. From a certain zoom level, I would consider the buildings more important than the paths to them so the paths should be omitted in the rendering.

On zoom level 15 or lower the paths should not be rendered anymore. But I can see them from 13 on, just the same as the buildings.
