That's how I understand it. Thanks for the confirmation.

I'm afraid that we wouldn't get app-support for this. On the other hand if
mappers are forced to use a lot of tags simply to specify what kind of vehicles
are allowed for each lane, I believe most mappers will just forget about it.
It's not worth the hassle especially as in the beginning no apps would support
it. And as no-one maps it then why should apps support it? That's one of the
drawbacks of the consumer-centered view: create theoretically perfect tagging
schemes that are wonderfully easy to process - and so hard to map that there's
no need to implement the processing because no one is using the scheme.
