Do _not_. Separate ways are used when the roads are physically separated, not when a white line is 
painted. Lane mapping would get you reverted.

OSM is not only for car routing. Imagine a chicken wants to cross the road, and stumbles over all 
those separate ways just representing lanes.

Turn restrictions are not used for restricting the change of lanes.

You can combine turn:lanes [1] with change:lanes [2], the first describe which lane you have to use 
for which turn, the second where you can change lanes and where not.

If you want to show us the current situation, you can drive along with the mapillary app and upload, 
so you don't need to show outdated G***** pictures ;-)
