Hi Hendrik

Not bad, but shouldn't the passing lane be marked as one way=yes? I assume
this lane is only to service one side of the road?

slow_vehicle=yes ?

But our's aren't separated from from the main road - I assume your's &
Hendrik's are the same - the road just widens with an extra lane along this
length?

The current use of passing_place as a node doesn't seem very robust to me.

No, I agree that the node doesn't work. May be OK as Warin mentioned, where
there is a short (length) stopping place but no for a full lane

Thanks
