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.
