A live version is running at https://osm-tiles.james-ross.co.uk/.

A test page for any OpenStreetMap tags is at https://osm-tiles.james-ross.co.uk/test.html.

Road overlay

This tile set is an overlay (meaning the tiles are transparent where there is no data) which renders roads (highways) from OpenStreetMap according to their various tags, including:

cycleway=lane =opposite_lane
cycleway:both=lane =opposite_lane
cycleway:left=lane =opposite_lane
cycleway:left:oneway=no
cycleway:right=lane =opposite_lane
cycleway:right:oneway=no
highway=motorway =trunk =primary =secondary =tertiary =unclassified =residential =service =motorway_link =trunk_link =primary_link =secondary_link =tertiary_link
lanes=*
lanes:backward=*
lanes:both_ways=*
lanes:forward=*
layer=*
oneway=yes =-1
parking:lane:both=parallel =diagonal =perpendicular
parking:lane:left=parallel =diagonal =perpendicular
parking:lane:right=parallel =diagonal =perpendicular
shoulder=yes =both =left =right
shoulder:both=yes
shoulder:left=yes
shoulder:right=yes
sidewalk=both =left =right
verge=yes =both =left =right
verge:both=yes
verge:left=yes
verge:right=yes

Rail overlay

This tile set is an overlay (meaning the tiles are transparent where there is no data) which renders rails (railways) from OpenStreetMap according to their various tags, including:

gauge=*
railway=abandoned =construction =disused =funicular =light_rail =monorail =narrow_gauge =preserved =rail =subway =tram

All overlay

Limitations and notes

Only zoom levels 16 through 22 are supported
Each tile is rendered on-demand, but the underlying data is cached in memory in zoom level 14 chunks
