well, proposals are just that: suggestions. I am not aware of any proposal dealing with explicitly mapped lanes (i.e. those with their own geometry) but I have started a proposal that might be able to deal with them a long time ago: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Area Problem is the complexity you add when you map things like this, you would have to maintain 2 ways of mapping at the same time: implicit lanes (defined by tags on highways) and explicit lanes overlapping the former. If you do not keep the implicit version working you will get a lot of problems with other mappers ;-) and this implies you'll have to connect the highways (carriageways) like we do now, and overlay the lanes as geometry and tags on top of that, and you'd have to flag the highways that are not real but abstract versions (simplified connections between highways mapped in the first model) as such so that the explicit-lanes enabled dataconsumers will know where to substitute the generalized highways with explicit lanes. > I am not representing individual lanes, but choices (aka, the two through > lanes are a single way). > Maybe you'd be better off with parametric mapping as suggested here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes cheers, Martin
