- Railroads should be mapped uninterrupted. No junction nodes at city borders.
- At crossings on the same level, the railroad may be connected to the road.
- No City name. A Street name can be added if it helps drivers to orient themselves. Better avoid general names like "Railroad" to prevent cluttering the screen.
- Set elevation according to the real situation.
For other means of public transport there are other guidelines, for instance pedestrian boardwalks used for public transport.
