There are actually several problems: * Most importantly, neither width tags nor the distance between two parallel ways are mapped with one-inch accuracy. * If you represent the two lines as a separation between ways, then you don't know that the two lines are there - so you cannot render them. * The "physical separation" between two road marking lines is part of the same paved surface as the rest of the highway. If you do not know that this is the case, you cannot render this as a paved surface either.
