I have recently posted a similar question to the newbies list.  There 
are two roads I've mapped recently where a short section has a width 
restriction meaning cars can only pass in one direction at a time, and I 
don't know how to map it.  If lanes is the total lanes for a way this 
would work, but how does osmarender render this ?

Thanks

Paul.
