Most residential roads in my area are unstriped but are definitely built for 
two lanes of traffic (one in each direction). It seems perfectly reasonable to 
me to tag them with lanes=2 as they are designed to take two lanes of traffic.

In fact, as part of some traffic calming measures a number of residential roads 
are having the lane striping removed. They claim that people tend to drive 
slower if there is no marking showing the boundary for oncoming traffic. I 
certainly will not be removing lanes=2 from those roads.
