Let's take again a look at the usage of :right/:left tags according to taginfo. The #1 ending on :right (only right) is name:right and is used 27.000 times. If we now sum up the count for cycleway:left, cycleway:right, cycleway:both, footway:right:*, footway:left:* and footway:both:* we get approx. 17.000 . Yes, that's a lot. And yes, that is far less, than the #1 using only for :right. And name:right is clearly something "next to" the carriageway. >>> My suggestion for separating the approaches is: >>> * Physical placement of things relative to road centerline: left/right. >>> * Legal restrictions depending on driving direction: forward/backward. > ................................ > A maxspeed:lanes:* is, according to my mental model, a legal restriction > that applies to a physical part of the road.

It's getting a little tricky here ;-) BTW: maxspeed is not direction-dependent? Furthermore: are you suggesting to replace all maxspeed:forward/backward by maxspeed:left/:right? Yes? I'm pretty sure, this wont happen. No? So we should have maxspeed:forward/backward AND maxspeed:left/right? >> In case of mixed lanes this would be tagged like this: >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/lanes_General_Extension/ProposalPreVoting#Difficult_lane_layout > So I could do something like > direction:lanes:forward = forward|backward|both_ways|forward > ?

No, I can not. That's why I suggested the direction key. In the case lanes use mixed direction, you could(!) either 1) split the way or 2) use the direction key. An example: highway=residential lanes=3 railway:lanes=|tram|tram direction:lanes=backward|backward|forward direction:tram:lanes=|both_ways|both_ways| We got here a residential street, with three lanes. On two lanes tram tracks are present. The general direction of the lanes is backward, backward and forward (as viewed from the direction of the osm-way, left to right), the tram-specific direction is none (not a tram track), both ways and both ways. Note: as long as editors don't support the direction:lanes tag, I strongly recommend using direction:lanes:forward instead, otherwise the direction information would be destroyed, it the way is reversed. This is pretty ugly, but works and is only needed until editors know, that they need to reverse the lane-values in the direction key.
