Mapnik/[EMAIL PROTECTED] both draw their roads to make them look good on the online map -- the width doesn't really have any relation to how wide the roads really are. We draw more prominent roads wider to show they are more prominent, but nothing more. If you want to tag width and lanes then please do -- it will become useful for future renderers or routing applications. But the current renderers don't pay attention.
