Hi,

 From the same lane page on the Wiki 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes>:
If the lane is also regulary opened with heavy traffic (spitsstrook 
<http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitsstrook>) then it should be counted 
(lanes=2), if it is only used for emergencies it is a shoulder and 
should not be counted (lanes=1).
Just my take.

Regards,
Gerard.
