I thought so too until I noticed that the Wiki says passing_place is used for nodes only, using logic that escapes me, so I began searching for another method. I also considered modifying that definition so it includes ways but was reluctant to start that battle even though that still seems a good solution. Marc suggests another lanes scheme that has some usage in bus lanes. Although using the lanes logic is more complicated than what I seek, if that scheme is in use on bus routes then maybe that's the best, I dunno. It requires splitting the main way twice and adding 3 separate sets of tags to each resultant section similar to this set: lanes=2 lanes:turnout:=1 turnout:lanes=yes (?) Again, I see this as a good structure but it seems overly complicated to describe this simple lane.

I agree that adding the turnout as a separate service highway might give the wrong impression because the ways are not actually separated, however, IMO it does model reality sufficiently to justify its use. Also, the turnout lane does move traffic; it just moves it slower than the main highway. Again, I'm looking for a *simpler" method of tagging these short sections. But if we determine the lanes model, either the one suggested by Marc, or earlier by Kevin, is best suited, I'll go with that.
