This doesn't correspond to reality: I believe that an emergency
vehicle can cross a solid line, while of course they would
have problems with a physically separated road.
Also, the presence and style of line in the middle of the road gives
additional informations that could be useful for the users.
* Dashed line: you can overtake wide veicles; probably related
to the available speed and chances to be blocked by something slow.
* No line: this road is not wide enough to have two proper lanes:
if you meet another car have to slow down, or possibly even
stop; a router can use this information to choose another
slighty longer, but wider road, even in the absence of a precise
width tag.
