Hi Nick, That solution is similar to the one I chose - a separate lane off to the side of a 2-lane highway. I can't imagine, however, whether any renderer or routing end-user will be able to understand that it is a passing lane or slow-vehicle turnout based on the use of the agricultural=yes tag. It looks exactly like the parent way. How does a router (or person) decide it's actually a place to pass slow-moving vehicles?
I would really rather expand the use of the passing_place tag to allow ways. Then tagging a situation like mine becomes simple and easy to draw while still providing essential information. It is a separate lane, oneway in the direction of traffic flow, and is located off to one side of the highway proper. The current use of passing_place as a node doesn't seem very robust to me. A related tag, passing_places=yes (no), is applied to a highway that has frequent slow-vehicle lanes scattered along its distance. This tag too isn't very specific and IMO, not very useful either.
