Personally, I tend to tag roads that are wide enough for 2 lanes (two cars can pass each other without noticeably slowing down) and which are clearly meant to be two lane (one lane each direction) roads with:
lanes=2 divider=no Yes, I know that is in violation of the strict reading of the wiki, but I feel it makes sense, and as far as I can determine, tagging roads that are meant to have two lanes with lanes=2 even in the absence of such road markings seems to be pretty widespread practice. (The use of the divider tag isn't very widespread, but again, I feel it makes sense in this context.)
