While thinking about the many roads up here that are single tracked, it'd be quite useful to be able to map them properly. The result was passing places [0]. I am under the impression that lanes=1 means 1 lane each way, but this makes these roads impossible. I'd quite like another tag, such as narrow=true (or something non-boolean) which would mean the lanes number is number of lanes overall as opposed to in either direction.
