<div>I thought so too until I noticed that the Wiki says
passing_place is used for nodes only, using logic that
escapes me, so I began searching for another method. I
also considered modifying that definition so it
includes ways but was reluctant to start that battle
even though that still seems a good solution.</div>

<div class="gmail_extra">I would be in favor of adding the
possibility to tag highway=passing_place on ways, there is
already a tiny fraction tagged on ways (although the
percentage currently makes it clear they are outliers).
There's a general problem with using nodes for features like
these: they don't have a direction, so you can't state where
the widening takes place.</div>

Passing places are not long. <br>
Most of them are just long enough to squeeze in a car and caravan
... just. <br>
You are supposed to come to a complete stop to let others pass in
either direction. <br>
They are usually on single lane, two way roads. <br>
<br>
So a passing place .. you have to stop in it. You cannot keep moving
as you would with any distance of extra lane. <br>

<div class="gmail_extra">For the lanes approach: I would only
use this if the place has some length (more than 5-10 meters
you may typically find on a track) AND if there are lane
markings (general requirement for lanes).</div>
