Which brings up another point that the speed *limit* may be different too as well as other attributes of the road. Tagging all this on a single way (maxspeed:hov, surface:hov, etc ?) seems like a nightmare. If there are enough distinguishing characteristics between it and the main road I would say make it its own way. And FYI I have already seen proposals to map individual lanes within a single road as areas. Now that's just crazy talk in my opinion but I guess the Germans have to do something to keep from getting bored.
