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
