Where I live (Nashville, Tennessee, USA), it is common for major streets to have two or more lanes in each direction, plus a turn lane down the center that can be used by traffic going in either direction. Some, but not all, of these streets are mapped as a pair of single-direction ways. In such a case, should the shared turn lane be mapped as a third, non-directional way?
In the case of a single carriageway for both directions plus shared
turn lane, I would expect only one way. There are no physical
barriers.
If an island is used at junctions I would consider splitting the way
there, but only for a 'substantial' island.
