These look good to me. I have mapped a number of junctions in a similar way.

As for traffic islands, I wouldn't create a divided highway for a 2 metre
long refuge but I probably would for a 50 metre section. If it means
anything, the other mapping providers (OS, Google) seem to do that as well.

Is there any consensus tagging scheme for providing OSM based lane guidance
and if there is does anyone know of an app that implements it?
