I *mostly* agree. Around here, the law doesn't say you have to use a climbing lane unless you're slow-moving. That's unlike a typical multilane road, where you are required to keep to the right except to pass. The posting is different, too: "KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS" for an ordinary multilane road as opposed to "SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT" for a climbing lane. They're often striped differently, too: https://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/?Extent=-8246951.946404826,5277161.158511143,-8246672.174938101,5277392.55967092&Layers=2017_cache,2016_cache,2015_cache,2014_cache,2013_cache is an example. (Uphill is to the west.) The resolution on the orthos isn't quite good enough to show that the rightmost lane is separated by a double broken line, not just a single one, but you can see that it looks heavier in the imagery. That stretch is also signed that HGV's, buses and trailers are forbidden in the leftmost lane. We also have the occasional spot like https://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/?Extent=-8283718.624472891,5242597.149663145,-8283317.927238801,5242833.029555047&Layers=2017_cache,2016_cache,2015_cache,2014_cache,2013_cache There, we have an extra lane on the northbound side for the purpose of getting by when the way is blocked by left-turning traffic. When the way is clear, it's normal and expected to proceed through the intersection on the main lane. By contrast, the extra lane on the southbound side is striped and signed as a dedicated turning lane. I'd still ordinarily just use the 'lanes' tags and possible turn restrictions. (If I troubled to tag traffic lanes. Ordinarily, I don't. I have other fish to fry.) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
