The law varies from country to country. In the UK, it is legal to cross
a solid white line to turn into a side road, or driveway. You can also
cross one to overtake a slow moving vehicle, such as a cyclist or
tractor.

I can see nothing wrong with tagging a single track road as lanes =1.
Single track roads are rarely the same width along their entire length, and the

Is there a means of tagging the old road numbers for a road that has
been declassified?
Sometimes you are not in a hurry and just want to go the old way, the
way people went before bypasses, motorways and interstates.
Something like:
highway=secondary
ref=B5478
ref_historic=A49
or

The restriction applies to all nodes within the area, not just passing the
sign. I do not think a node is appropriate in this case.
I suspect this should be a relation.

In France, a solid line means do not cross. It is more than do not overtake. On
French motorways, the line between the main carriageway and the hard shoulder
is broken for this reason.
In this case it does mean no U-turns, and a left turn restriction will fix the
problem.

The other usage of the term agricultural is the type of vehicle.
In the UK agricultural vehicles are prohibited on motorways due to their slow
speeds. But a farmer could use his Land Rover on a motorway as it is a car
being used for agriculture.

Haberdashery is a shop, or a section of a department store selling

haberdashery is probably the most correct. Luggage may be more useful as that

I believe there is an address locallity which can be used in this case.
Why city though? Isn't posttown more correct, not every address contains the

Through observations I can see that there is a minimum width for lane marking
in the UK. I am not sure what the value is, but have seen sections of road
where lines end where the road narrows.
Will try to find an example.
I am not sure I would want to add a lanes tag where the width falls below

shoulder on managed sections of motorway, but I cannot read dutch.
We have these on the M6 and M42.
Thanks Phil
