...But how can I tag you this: A road which is lanes=1+wide _AND_
lanes=2+narrow at the same time? ...You ask me to provide width and select
one of those two, and that is what I oppose, unless you give me some real
tag that is not width to tell that 'hey, there really isn't lanes marked
(which makes it kind of lanes=1) but two can somewhat fit (which makes
it kind of lanes=2 but not really because it's only "somewhat")'!
I think I understand what you mean, because I see that in many rural
cases here
Perhaps just to clarify at least my observations / understanding
which will hopefully match your differentiation:
A) lanes=1
Means no chance to pass but on special passing points.
B) lanes=2
You can always pass without leaving the tarmac and without special
precautings (like driving very slow on the outer side)
Well, the latter may depend on experience and spatial sense! ;-)
And I talk about lorries / busses, not a special
"passenger-cars-only-2-lane-road" (see C).
But I am afraid this is already ambiguous in the data too ...
C) lanes=1.5
To pass you may have to leave the tarmac depending on the oncomming
vehicle, but there is always enough place to do so.
I have to admit, that I would tag C) as lanes=1, because even there is
always enough space
- you have to leave the tarmac and so you have to leave 'your lane'
- you never know what's beside the tarmac, which will lead to special
precautions.
For me C) has simply the same driving limitations as A):
Always expect oncomming traffic you cannot pass without precautions.
Together with width it is possible to refine your capabilities depending
on your own vehicle and driving characteristics then.
Then you may know, if your small vehicle can pass every oncomming lorry.
But lanes=1.5 has no benefit or information here - not even for a
cyclist, if you mean a 1.5 passenger car width - and the lorry is coming
