[Tagging] highway line representation

[Mateusz Konieczny]

In my mapping I use variant B, though
for the first line I would ignore such tiny areas 
(and would not ignore larger ones).

I am not sure is it common or just me.

The driving line of the      vehicles can differ from the centre line due to various      circumstances: e.g. due to (structurally created) chicanes, but      also, for example, due to parking lanes with parked vehicles...
