As far as I can tell, that is the intended purpose of the tag.
Someone else correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been deleting the seperated tag
whenever I add in the parallel way.
The most important thing to do in these cases is to make sure you add the
oneway=yes tag and either create or update the route relationship so the
divided street/road renders correctly.

What is the intent of the tiger:separated tag? Was it to indicate that a
single way actually
represents a set of two or more parallel ways?
What should we do when we modify a single TIGER way to represent the true
divided nature of a
street/road? For example, when I copy the entire way and paste a copy offset
by a few meters
to form the other direction of the road? Should tiger:separated be considered
immutable and
left alone? Or deleted? Or changed to 'yes'?
