This is another one of those cases where the instructions used to be
in unclear. For a while the Wiki said the count was number of lanes
in each direction. Some did that, some did total lane count. It
has since been changed to the current (and I'm told former) total
count, but there is quite
Mark,
The number refers to the total number of lanes of the way. Refer to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes for more information.
They should be tagged with lanes=2 although AFAIK it is meaningless not
required if it is a bi-directional road (as per the second example on the
web page

What do other people do?
ignore lanes in country towns and cities
i've plenty of other things i find useful to map
next comment is that the lanes=1 on the wiki means one lane each way and so a
one lane bridge needs to be lanes=1/2
a two lane road with a
My thoughts are the same as Liz.
The number of lanes should be the number available for each direction.
If the road has a lanes= tag and a oneway=yes tag, then it should be the
total number for the way.

There's no indication of how to map asymmetrical roads, Liz's suggestion

The most common example I can think of is over taking sections on say
the Pacific or New England or Bruce or highways where it isn't

As a separate issue, how to map roads with differing numbers of lanes,
perhaps based on time? Pacific Highway at Turramurra is an example, I
think the Spit Bridge in

You can't necessarily assume that a street is one way based on the
direction the cars are parked. In

I'm currently doing some edits in Armidale (NSW) following my trip
there for Christmas. Many of the streets and surrounding roads are
labelled lanes=1. Some of these are clearly wrong, as they have a
painted line in the middle (lanes=2) - I will be changing these, but I
wanted to check
