It is rare to see a suggestion from someone who is new to the game that is so well thought out. I am impressed that you did not, like so many others who want to scratch their particular itch with OSM, opt for whatever is easiest for you and not care about mapping. Everyone else on the planet would likely have said something like "ah let's just draw a line next to the road and add kerbside regs to that", or worse still, "let's just split up the road" which would, as you rightly point out in your example, lead to very fractioned ways indeed. For this idea to be really successful, I believe that your logic of snapping points to the road and deriving linear information from it might have to be added to editors, so that mappers can get direct feedback on how the interpretation changes when they add markers. I'm not 100% clear on some aspects, e.g. what if your on-the-ground markers are linear (double vs. single yellow line indicating no stopping/no parking etc.) but it is possible that you've covered that somewhere without me noticing. I'm sure practical application will lead to all sorts of questions or follow-on problems but the approach sounds promising.
