trees in the middle? Sounds like a dual carriageway to me because those 
trees are probably stopping you turning across the other lane.

Leave it as two parallel street segments. At some point, someone will 
come up with a sensible way of defining one-way streets that everyone 
can agree upon, and you can label those segments accordingly.
