One of the problems I think we have is road widths.  Mapnik currently

This is also the case on every commercially-published map I have ever seen; the 
road width on the map reflects the importance of the road, not the physical 
number of lanes.  At higher zooms, divided highways do tend to show separate 
lines for the two halves of the highway.

I believe there is a proposal for drawing the road surface as a polygon, not for routing purposes but for rendering and other uses of knowing exactly what area is paved.
