Hi,
where do you see a problem here? The current situation might not be
perfect, but it is usable as it is. The only thing to keep in mind is
that the number of "lanes" does not need to match the number of entries
in the "XY:lanes" tags.
On the other hand, the "lanes" tag has some real problems, e.g.
lanes = 2
lanes:psv = 1
lanes:hov = 1
Is there any lane for regular traffic or not?
In my opinion the "lanes" tag is just a rough estimate for the width and
capacity of a road - all actual numbers have to be read from more
detailed tags such as cycleway, busway and all XY:lanes.

I've been saying for a while now that it's time we fix the tagging
problems with bicycle and motorcycle lanes by /actually including them
as lanes/, because it cleanly handles exactly this kind of situation
concisely and cleanly. They're still lanes, just a reserved kind of
lane like a carpool lane or HOV lane. JOSM already handles this with
its lane tagging features beautifully. Any data consumers that can deal
with lane access (which, if they're not, this is /already/ a bug,
because HOV and bus lanes are things, too) will be able to handle it
without problems.
Or we can just keep trying to pretend bicycle lanes aren't actually
lanes and try to figure out how to fix something while simultaneously
keeping it permanently broken because the original lanes proposal only
considered private motorists.
