<p>Hi Ben,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think it is okay, but I don't yet see a need to handle abandoned:highway.</p>
<p>I find > 2100 ways that with abandoned:highway=* and highway=*.</p>
<p>Do you think these are not usable highways ?</p>

<div>Hi Gerd,<br>
<br>
</div>
Here's a patch to hide abandoned highways in the default style. Abandoned highways have some evidence of their former existence but are no longer used. I made a separate rule for this change to highlight that abandoned highways could be useful in topographical
maps.<br>

<br>
</div>
The rule also matches highway=abandoned. While not an official OSM rule, it is being used in the US an Europe:<br>

I also found a German wiki page for it but not a page in English:<br>

<div>Let me know what you think.<br>
