lanes:forward=* and lanes:backward=* is the best that I've found so far to describe truck climbing lanes and similar features. They don't appear in your image to be grade-separated, so they don't need to be separate ways - one way for each section of the road, with appropriate lanes:forward and lanes:backward appears to describe what's on the ground. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
