Somewhere between the two edge lines. Always using the exact center
would require zigzagging whenever lanes are created or destroyed.

When there's no median, the center depends on both directions.

Because if the pre-intersection right lane is directly behind the
post-intersection center lane, but an angled dashed line forces you into
the post-intersection right lane, this cannot be determined without
mapping this somehow.
