There has been a discussion going on about this on the talk list, with no 
consensus so far.
I only know of the lanes tag
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes

there is a proposed feature here
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/lane_and_lane_group
but I don't know if it does what you want (seems more about special lanes)

You can also use the lanes tag with the total number of lanes and put a note 
(maybe as a FIXME or a special tag as you see fit) to tell how the lanes are 
organized, so that when we finally have a tagging scheme you can come back 
and convert your comments to useful tags.
At least this way your comments are attached to the feature they relate to.
