Smoothness in Transportation layer

[utagawal]

Would it be possible to add the smoothness key in the transportation layer ?

That would help to style the map according to this element as well, specifically when the map is intended for specific usage (like cycling)

Thanks for pointing this out. Smoothness could be considered for zoom level 15.

Along these lines, I'm interested in smoothness=* as well as tracktype=* on highway=track at all zoom levels in which highway=track appear to allow changing the rendering of tracks based on these properties. (see osm-americana/openstreetmap-americana#717) For my particular use-case I want to render tracks with smoothness=horrible|very_horrible or tracktype=grade4|grade5 as visually distinct from tracks that are more likely to be traversable by a majority of vehicles at the first zoom that they appear, which might be as low as z=12 in some cases.

While I'm most interested in segmenting out these broad categories as a first pass, I imagine that in future work I will try to render a more full spectrum of both of these attributes in an understandable way. Currently I'm utilizing the surface=paved value as a proxy for tracktype=grade1, but this may not always be valid.
