My guess is that the slow-moving traffic is supposed to pull over into the outer lane, allowing the parade behind to pass on the inside, rather than the through traffic passing on the outer lane? That's like my first case, except that in that particular case, the climbing lane goes on for several km (the highway is gaining a few hundred metres of elevation up the Helderberg escarpment). We do have ones that are more like pullouts rather than long lanes. There's a shorter one on the westbound carriageway in https://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/?Extent=-8267325.730037971,5268580.377261018,-8265722.941101252,5269523.896828834&Layers=2017_cache,2016_cache,2015_cache,2014_cache,2013_cache By contrast, although the section is short, the outer westbound lane in https://orthos.dhses.ny.gov/?Extent=-8244541.671667748,5187738.535180551,-8244140.974433658,5187974.415072453&Layers=2017_cache,2016_cache,2015_cache,2014_cache,2013_cache is NOT a climbing lane. It's set off by a single broken line, and traffic is expected to keep to the right except to pass. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
