I disagree. But then I could be wrong.

In the above (Canberra) example:

Where a solid line exists between the two groups of lanes there is a
'legal barrier' that you cannot legally cross between the two groups of
lanes (2 go right and 2 continues

  straight on).

Using the tag lanes does not convey this 'legal barrier'.

Also using the tag lanes how can the turn restrictions that exist be
tagged, the right 2 must turn right and the left 2 must go straight on ?

Note: this is also raised on the Australian list too.. so I have said the same thing there too.
