We do have a (recently approved) relation type for this: 'connectivity':

In this case with a simple 2-lane way splitting into 2 1-lane ways I 
would not use this relation - it should be obvious to all routing tools 
how these ways relate to each other. The example looks more complicated 
than it actually is, because some ways are oneways and some are not. For 
routing purposes, the lanes in each direction can be treated separately 
from each other.
