[talk-au] Question about lanes

[Stephen Hope]

This is another one of those cases where the instructions used to be
in unclear.  For a while the Wiki said the count was number of lanes
"in each direction".  Some did that, some did total lane count.  It
has since been changed to the current (and I'm told former) total
count, but there is quite likely to still be bad data around.  I'm
guessing you've found some.
