Which brings up another point that the speed *limit* may be different
too as well as other attributes of the road. Tagging all this on a
single way (maxspeed:hov, surface:hov, etc ?) seems like a nightmare.
If there are enough distinguishing characteristics between it and the
main road I would say make it its own way.

And FYI I have already seen proposals to map individual lanes within a
single road as areas. Now that's just crazy talk in my opinion but I
guess the Germans have to do something to keep from getting bored.
