The lane-case is a little different though, because if you have
multiple values there (plus a definition from where to start) you

numbers for the floors anyway, and they are the usual way to identify
levels in buildings, but nobody says "take lane 3".
Actually they do :)

But, as with buildings, there's ambiguity - which side do you start on?
Nice to see the North Americans agreeing with us Brits on that one. Lane
One is on the left!
Many roads with "lane differentiation" will be one-way (including dual
carriageways) - that's the easy bit, just number them in a standard way,
e.g. from "slow" to "fast" or left to right (independent of driving on
left/right). On two-way roads, from left-to-right w.r.t. the direction
of the way?
For building floors, are there any cultures which number their floors
downwards?
