As far as I understand, those are ways next to the carriageway.
If they are mapped as tags on the highway=* way, rather than as separate
ways, then they are part of the highway=* as far as OSM is concerned.
I don't think it matters whether they are part of the carriageway. Some
of them are (cycle lanes that have no physical barrier to or are even
surrounded by car lanes), others - such as cycleway:*=track - are not.
My suggestion for separating the approaches is:
* Physical placement of things relative to road centerline: left/right.
* Legal restrictions depending on driving direction: forward/backward.
And this would be a complete show stopper. What you suggest is to tag
one property with :left/:right and another with :forward/:backward. So
for example:
cycleway:lanes:right=no|no|lane
maxspeed:lanes:forward=80|50|
No, that's not what I suggest. All per-lane attributes would be
:left/right, because they refer to lanes, i.e. physical parts of the
roads. You would never see a :lanes:forward/backward.
A maxspeed:lanes:* is, according to my mental model, a legal restriction
that applies to a physical part of the road. It is not driving
direction-dependent as such.
The same lanes and different suffixes. Sorry, but something like this
I can simply never support.
Well, then it's a good thing that I didn't suggest that.
In case of mixed lanes this would be tagged like this:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/lanes_General_Extension/ProposalPreVoting#Difficult_lane_layout
So I could do something like
direction:lanes:forward = forward|backward|both_ways|forward
? I think it would make your proposal less problematic if something like
that was at least possible.
Top put this differently: Can you guarantee me that, in a right-hand
driving country, all lanes:forward will always be to the right of all
lanes:backward of the same road?
