Marked lanes

[domluther]

In the UK, it is common for a road to have lanes painted at the junction but then not on the rest of the road. This means eg the first 10m have a lane but then the road doesn't.

To be clear, I'm not talking about roads where the painted lines are worn out and so barely visible.

Am I right that this means the quest should be answered as the road has no marked lanes?

Interesting, one always learn something new in OSM

Unless UK community has specific guidelines stating otherwise (that I'm not aware of), lane_markings=yes should only be tagged on part of the road that actually has lane marking on it (and conversely, lane_markings=no only on parts that don't have the markings).

So, if the quest is presented for a whole road, but the answer differs for different sections of the road, you should choose Uh... / Differs along the way... to split the road, and then answer "yes" on a part(s) that have the lane markings, and "no" on part(s) that do not have lane markings.

(the same principle applies for other quests, e.g. if part of the road is lit and part isn't, or if the sidewalk situation differs between sections of the road, etc. -- you should split it, so you can answer each part correctly)

Another option is disabling this quest if it would result in pointless road splitting

This is also very common in Denmark although I'd estimate no more than 5m is marked. I usually answer 'no marked lanes'.
