There are some guardrails which share support poles with the one for the 
opposite road, the total set being about 50-80cm wide. 
If they used separates poles, and had any kind of a gap between them, I could 
see drawing two ways to represent both guardrails. 

Unless it is very easy to map both sides of the guardrail ( there is a gap) or 
putting two ways running in opposite directions on the same nodes, (to 
represent both guardrails), wouldn’t a “both” value of some kind (like for 
embankment) be reasonable in some instances?
