[Tagging] Slow vehicle turnouts

I'd say that it would be better to leave them unmapped than to incorrectly
map them as separate service roads.
If they are only divided by a single painted line, they are just lanes, not
a separate roadway.
And it's not too difficult to split the way twice and paste on a couple of
tags
