Since 2008, the lane tag has been defined as the _physical_ number of
lanes. In other words, it

Bus lanes should be counted in the lanes for global consistency:
some countries have bus lanes that are open to all outside rush
hours, and/or motorists are allowed to use them for turning right
even when they're 24/7.

My take on lanes is that it should be the number of continuous lanes
along a road. This impacts traffic flow and road capacity which allows
routers to make more informed decisions. Turning lanes don't increase
overall road capacity. Rather, they prevent it from dropping at busy
intersections. As su

Otherwise, lanes=4, lanes:turning:left=2, lanes:turning:right=2 is ambiguous.

Isn't it generally agreed that different ways of tagging must use
different keys? Using one key in different ways in places where
there can be, or will be a conflict is
