Instead of role=area, I'd suggest separate ways: role=left, role=right, and
role=outer.  The role=center way could then be optional, solely for backward
compatibility.

This way you can indicate direction directly on the relation.  Plus you can
share ways, so the role=left way for one lane (or set of lanes, or landuse
area, or pedestrian area, or gore area, or barrier, etc.) can be the
role=right way for another lane (or...).

I set up a list of example situations to ponder at
