As last weekend and Tuesday's national holiday coupled with bad weather gave me some time to hack, I worked many many hours on improving the map layout to make it more harmonic. Especially when zoomed far out, the map is now much better to grasp. For example for streeets with a cycleway=opposite or cycleway=opposite_lane or bicycle:oneway=no instead of the symbols for that, there is now a different oneway arrow – so it's less visual detail while carrying (nearly) the same amount of information.
I also kicked out quite a few POI because cities got too crowded. I kicked out all POI that in my eyes are neither needed for orientation nor carry much value for a tourist. This means for example no more trafficlights displayed in the map – as nice as they are, they are not needed for orientation but clutter up the map (their use for very acribic tripplanning-optimization is too limited I think).
