I have an example here: >http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=en&ll=41.899274,12.464333&spn=0.008497,0.021136&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=41.899391,12.464289&panoid=O8BHrnM_gTAW2XQUWqxcXg&cbp=12,353.6,,0,4.57
When the lanes are marked on the ground, it ought to be an offence to drive continuously on the lines separating lanes; hence, there are only three lanes in the link above, even if some or many drivers think they can get away with it. >Not sure, how many lanes these are, could be 5 or even 5.5? Depends on >the car widths and the experience of the drivers: >http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=en&ll=41.876836,12.481943&spn=0.000378,0.00066&t=h&z=21 Changing lanes and overtaking within an intersection ought to be an offence in developed countries, so from the modelling point of view there can only be as many lanes as there are on any of the incoming or outgoing carriageways. >vehicles can pass at the same time, lanes=1.5 doesn't really help you, >it will always remain unclear which width is the street. There are those roads (yes, roughly 4 meters wide) that, based on the overall setting, can not be called two lane roads, but it would be misleading to tag them with lanes=1, either. Aren't we supposed to safely assume that every road can be tagged with some correct lanes tag? -- Alv _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
