I think of a lane added on the nearside (kerb side) of the road for slow vehicles going uphill as a "crawler lane", and to me "passing place" is meant for waiting for oncoming traffic to pass on a road too narrow for two-way simultaneous use (and is typically short enough to represent with a node). I think what Dave describes is closest to a crawler lane.
