>> Daniel, I'm insterested in that. If you formalize it, please, alert me.
>> I think it could be useful:
>>     - shoulder={yes,no}
>>     - shoulder:width=5 m
>>     - shoulder:side={left,right,both}
>>     - shoulder:line={continuous, dashed,....} (see [1])
>>     - shoulder:access = [all the access] (in some countries, the
>> shoulder is for emergency purposes, depending on highway pedestrians and
>> biclycles could use it, in some countries it could be used for buses..)
