I too think that tracks should just be a single lane. From the reasons stated
above put more by Kytömaa Lauri more eloquently than I will. If a road has a
physical split it is 2 separate one way streets. Tracks are physically
separate so they should be mapped as such.

Martin,
The example you gave for tunnels and bridges are the same for roads as well.
If you have a bridge or tunnel with 2 roads (one for each one-way) and a
train line(s) and footpath each will be a tagged with a separate bridge. So
in that regard rail is actually are consistent with the road net
I think Martin it is best to focus your proposal on the area that is
manageable, smaller in scale and something that your know and have passion
about.
So in this case I would just do a something for trams.
I think the initial problems with the proposal was it was radical and
effected millions of
Apologies I looked a little more at the San Fran area link you post you do
have relations for the tram (which you added as tram yesterday...) as a road
combo just not for each line of the trams which is tagged as light_rail.
Which I presume it is just a tram line and therefore wrong anyway.
I can
Now I started looking at trams and lightrail I see more of a need of
consistent standards.
They seem to be used interchangeably in San Fran and in Portland which was
quoted a good example in the US most (nearly all) of what I would call tram
lines are tagged light_rail with some tagged as trams li
It seems that the terms light rail and tram are used interchangeably around
the world so mostly ignore my last comments. I don't know where this leave
OSM tagging standards for them though. In the UK we do class them as
different and it just show my sheltered life and knowledge on this
subject.
I was going to enter a long rambling rant about this subject against the
anti-"mechanical edits" gang (part of the anti-import and anti-aerial
imagery groups)it seems like some of them just like bad data and no
standards.
But a simple +1 to Tobias' comments. Crazy guidelines in the Mechanical
