Lanes aren't physically seperated so they shouldn't be split nor need
a relation to show they are physically joined, I call that abusing
relations.

I disagree, you should be able to tag each lane with the right speed,
otherwise you aren't accurately tagging things.

Are they validly tagged ways or is it simply a way to tag things to
deal with the DB as is?

If it's a single physical section, ie a bridge with all the lanes
physically connected then it should only be one way and we should be
able to tag the individual lanes.
