I'm not sure if your first case (https://westnordost.de/misc/2or1lanes.jpg) should be mapped as parallel parking at all or if it's illegal parking and should actually be no_parking or no_stopping (maybe depends on the local legislation or permanence of the situation)? I recently discussed a similar case with another mapper: Here it was about de facto parallel parking in a living_street outside of designated parking areas, which is illegal at least according to the traffic regulations in force here (which is even indicated by a sign at this street!). See this picture: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/0kZ-LZX4-J36J5xov_UBvw
In this situation I argued for "map what is on the ground" and for mapping the situation as de facto parallel parking (the cars have been parked there for years, as can be seen on aerial photographs). My counterpart was against this. In the meantime, the situation has been resolved by the fact that the public order office has distributed parking tickets several times and the street is no longer permanently, but only sporadically, parked :) But I am not sure whether there is a basic consensus on how to deal with contradictions between de facto and de jure situations like this in OSM? In my opinion, this should be clarified at first. I am currently also working on parking lane analyses (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Supaplex030/Parkplatzanalyse_Neuk%C3%B6lln, sry for german language at present) and therefor differentiate between (1) on_street, (2) half_on_street and (3) on_kerb/shoulder/lay_by/street_side parking (for street side parking see the current proposal under vote: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/parking%3Dstreet_side). I think a distinction between "on_street" and "lane", as you suggested, is unnecessary or too error-prone. Already when differentiating between on_street (= lane) and street_side parking I noticed that these cases are sometimes difficult to distinguish, especially when there are kerb extensions. Wouldn't it be better to simply distinguish between marked and unmarked parallel parking lanes and work with width:* values (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:width#Width_of_streets) instead of lane information?
