[Tagging] Carriageway divider

[Colin Smale]

I live in hope that, one day, we might have documented defaults or 
implied values per territory. Until that time, we may have to map both 
the tangible artefact (solid line) and the implications for routing (no 
u-turns etc.) separately. They are distinct concepts, related by the 
rules of the territory.
