Both. ;)
In either case, a country-dependent translation needs to happen, but
translating from appearance to legal effect should be a bit more
straightforward than the other way around. After all, that's what human
drivers do - so it *has* to be possible to do the translation in this
direction. In the other, not so much, there can easily be ambiguity.
I would also like to point out that tagging the effects may require
multiple tags rather than just one, and that mappers don't necessarily
even know all the effects. Identifying how the divider looks doesn't
require that knowledge.

This wouldn't help. Martin's original idea ("crossable") simply does not
contain enough information to reverse-engineer the appearance from the
effect.
