This has an effect on my cycling activities as well, I am now much more interested in details reg. e.g. highway=track without tracktype or highways crossing small waterways  (bridge or tunnel=culvert?) as well as different landuses like meadow and farmland.

Has anyone come across this or has an idea on how to do it?
