<p>Let's scotch this idea of smv straightaway. Whereas PSV, HGV and
LGV are well-established abbreviations, at least in UK English,
I've never come across slow-moving vehicles referred to as SMVs -
this seems to have been made up on the fly in this thread. We
don't really like abbreviations in OSM anyway. As
slow-moving_vehicle is a bit of a mouthful, I'd suggest
slow_vehicle as a reasonable tag to use. Or crawler.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Okay, I guess the consensus here is that, even
though I dislike it, I must use the lanes approach. In my
original tagging, I had invented a new category of service road,
service=slow_vehicle_turnout, but perhaps an abbreviated form of
slow_moving_vehicle would be more consistent and easier in the
end. In the example provided by SelfishSeahorse, he uses
smv:lanes:forward=|designated (as well as its counterpart in
lanes:forward) and that seems consistent with other abbreviated
tags, like hov and hgv so I'll use that terminology in my
tagging. Perhaps someone of you would like to add the smv
abbreviation and description to the Wiki.

MUTCD, before that you would be correct (and usually as a

most plsces have had long enough to require a repaint if not a
repave since then).<br>

The states have had considerable leeway in how they mark their
own<br>
highways (the Federal government has control only on the
highways that<br>
it funds). New York has used a single solid white line to
mean 'lane<br>
crossing discouraged but not prohibited' for the 45 years that
I've<br>
been driving here. Prohibited lane crossings have, for at
least that<br>
long, been set off by double lines or by partial-barrier lines
with<br>
the solid line toward the lane that must not be departed from.<br>
<br>
I seem to recall that the meaning of a single solid yellow
line has<br>
varied from 'crossing discouraged', to 'crossing forbidden but
left<br>
turns permitted', to 'crossing prohibited'. The current
drivers'<br>
manual states that they have the same regulatory effect as a
double<br>
yellow line. (Left turns across a double yellow are permitted
only<br>
when they can be accomplished without impeding traffic in
either<br>
direction and only into private driveways, entrances and
alleys.) The<br>
only single yellow center lines I've seen in the last couple
of<br>
decades have been on private roads, where they mean, 'the
owner was<br>
too cheap to shell out for enough paint for standard
markings.'<br>
