Now I need to add a poi amenity=ferry_terminal on a route=ferry to show additional information, like ferry schedules, or add another line on top with this info. By adding a (almost invisible) poi you can add this info better, for instance a very small red x for time restrictions on a road, access=no, motor_vehicle=destination etc or a marking for a hiking or cycling route
For all this Information you can put a transparent line over (or under) 
the highway... MapSource will show every name of each line. I'm not sure 
how devices handle this.
Therefore it could also be useful to write different names in 
address-index and on the object. Is this possible?
