This might work in this instance but what about other wide boulevards? 
Champs Elysee in Paris, for example?  As you can see from the Landsat,
the line down the middle doesn't give any indication that this is a
HUGE road.  And if you were to take GPS traces from both outside lanes,
you would get two lines.
