Let's try looking at this from a different direction. All roads must have the capacity to convey one vehicle width. Some roads have formal lane markings ( in which case the number of lanes will be obvious) and other road types have informal (i.e. none) lane markings. On the latter, the number of lanes is somewhat variable, and may depend upon the road surface type, the types of vehicles approaching, and recent precipitation ( which could fill edges, and dynamically contract the width).
So maybe trying to put a finite number of lanes on an informal road situation may be a long process that satisfies no one. On informal roads , width may be the only viable metric.
