Hi!

I'd propose to tag the section of the road with the turnout (or
alternatively just a node) turnout:<left/right/both>=yes.

I would neither use a lane key nor a separate highway=service way, because
slow vehicle turnouts aren't lanes for moving traffic and because a
separate highway way would give the wrong impression that the turnout were
physically separated from the other lanes.

Regards
Markus
