See below for an example.\r\n\r\n![digix5l](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/366540/10870441/f2bbc48a-80c2-11e5-94b7-6181e509a848.jpg)\r\n\r\n\r\nI'd like to propose a new colour for motorways which reflects their importance relative to other road types."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/comments/152999904","html_url":"https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1946#issuecomment-152999904","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1946","id":152999904,"user":{"login":"jojo4u","id":156724,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/156724?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u","html_url":"https://github.com/jojo4u","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jojo4u/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-02T12:09:38Z","updated_at":"2015-11-02T12:09:38Z","body":"Yes, on first glance it's difficult to make out the motorways. But perhaps we are too used of this read-centric view. The goal of osm-carto is not a map showing roads as prominent as e.g. Google Maps."}}
