I doubt that, but without proper tagging or a different data set to
compare with, we won't ever know.

However I think this is the most common case:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&sll=40.111982,-83.089069&sspn=0.001553,0.004506&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FY4gBwIdU7bx-A&split=0&ll=34.018261,-118.321327&spn=0,359.981976&z=17&layer=c&cbll=34.018064,-118.321328&panoid=SINsqoKL6-IG3u4muEvxfA&cbp=12,15.67,,0,9.88

Main way with both side roads having only 2 lanes have a stop sign
before the main way.

> Would you split the way?  Is there a physical separation?  Does paint count?

No idea, what do commercial companies do in that situation?
