To me it just does not feel right. I don't see a "lane" there...

The key lanes and its subkeys are a misconception par excellence, no doubt
there.

I'm all in! Changing the meaning of a key that's used about 5 million times
might get a little tricky though.

I wouldn't use lanes=2 in this example. 1+1=2


access:lanes:forward=yes|no|no

That's an excellent example why the current access scheme sucks for this.
traffic_designation:lanes:forward=none|bicycle|bus
traffic_designation:lanes:backward=none|bicycle;taxi

Wouldn't that be A LOT easier?

Best regards,
Martin
