Depends on the situation, I don't mess with it if I don't know the area that well, but if I'm vaguely familiar with maintenance norms in the area and the context of the road, I'll tag the lanes as best I can if it's likely still being maintained as a multilane road, but if it's been downgraded to something without lanes and they're letting it go, I'll tag that accordingly.
