Bridges seem to have the Northern and Western-most pixels replaced with a light grey.

This is very obvious and looks horrible if you use a lighter bridge colour than most of the official styles (where it is still present but not as obvious).

I've attached an image of a zoom-in of what the bridges from Zch's style template look like, where it's really obvious.

Is this a regression, or are you suggesting to do something else?

Not sure if it is a regression, will have to check later. I know that this border is usually drawn in places where two different floor types meet. I guess I'm suggesting to not do it for bridges, because they already have a distinctive look with their own border as part of their graphics, and this particular implementation, or at least the light grey colour of this border, clashes with the dark edges of bridges in a number of styles, in my opinion.

I deliberately looked for floor type that has similar colors to the bridge graphics. I kind of like it both ways. Thoughts?

Those particular bridge graphics are pretty grey as far as bridge tiles go so the difference is probably not all that obvious, but my opinion is that the grey line should go.

I thought about this for a while, waiting for anyone to speak up, but ultimately my opinion is that it should be kept as-is.

I know you'd like this option so perhaps make a Feature Request thread requesting customizing this in custom styles?
