For info I've added layer=1 back to http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/140324063 since it is higher than everything else nearby.

Comment from Yorvik Prestigitator
I am confused; the osm wiki says layer tag should be used to describe relative vertical differences of overlapping nodes or tags but "is not suitable to define vertical relationships of adjoining, nearby or distant elements or areas."
Would the embankment tag be more appropriate for way 140324063 ? -
Comment from SomeoneElse
The wiki should be descriptive rather than proscriptive; unfortunately the overlap between wiki editors and actual mappers isn't high, and sometimes people's personal point of view creeps through. I would certainly never edit anything based on what the wiki says alone - it's always worth trying to understand the sense of what was trying to be mapped and making sure that sense is preserved, As to whether an embankment tag or a layer tag is better here, I'd look to taginfo to see the usage of both and to the various public stylesheets for where it's consumed (and no, I haven't done that, so can't say what would be best) but just removing the tag without trying to understand the sense of what was being recorded makes no sense.
