But why? It seems tools aren't expecting lanes tags with more lanes than in the lanes count. Seems exceptionally arbitrary and very incomplete to count only lanes that a sedan can use.

    Hey Paul,

    „lanes=*“[1] is for the total number of car traffic lanes and
    should not be confused with the “:lanes” suffix [2].

    So “highway=* + oneway=yes + lanes=2 + cycleway=lane” is correct.

    However, your

    motor_vehicle:lanes=yes|no|yes

    bicycle:lanes=yes|designated|yes

    is correct, too.

    Yours Hubert

    Seems like some of the examples are wrong.  For example, M2c...

    Wouldn't it be better and more consistent relative to other
    mode-specific lanes to tag it as...

    oneway=yes

    cycleway=lane

    lanes=3

    motor_vehicle:lanes=yes|no|yes

    bicycle:lanes=yes|designated|yes
