It seems perfectly reasonable to me to tag them with lanes=2 as they are designed to take two lanes of traffic.<br>
<br>
In fact, as part of some traffic calming measures a number of residential roads are having the lane striping removed. They claim that people tend to drive slower if there is no marking showing the boundary for oncoming traffic. I certainly will not be removing lanes=2 from those roads.<br>
