I have significant discomfort with smv and a bit with slow_vehicle, because hgv is a in OSM is defined as a vehicle with an allowable gross weight (GVWR in US terms) over 3500 kg (that's not a bus or a passenger car). So a given vehicle is or isn't an hgv, and it doesn't change. A slow vehicle, on the other hand, is any vehicle, regardless of actual and permitted weight, that is driving below the prevailing speed in the right lane, or is about to be because of a hill. A vehicle that could be driven at an adequate speed, piloted by someone who chooses not to, is still a slow vehicle, and an empty truck might well not be. So I would call it "climbing_lane", although I suppose there might be such lanes not on hills. A tag of "slow_vehicle" seems ok, because it doesn't imply parallel structure with hgv. I have seen roads that are often 1 lane and have a 5 mile section of 2 lanes. But those are not really the same thing.
