Key:lane_markings

The tag lane_markings=* can be used on a road to make it clear whether the lanes on that road are marked with painted lines, coloured pavement, or in other permanent markings.

Usage

• lane_markings=yes - the lanes of this road are marked.
• lane_markings=no - the lanes of this road are not marked.

For many roads, this tag can be added without lanes=*, indicating that the road has no defined lanes. It can also be used with roads that have the tag lanes=* to indicate that those lanes are "virtual," or that vehicles clearly use the road as if those lanes existed, but they aren't explicitly marked.

Example

• 
  Case of road taggable with lane_markings=no + lanes=2
• 
  Example of a street with lane_markings=yes + lanes=2

Possible tagging mistakes

lanes=0
