Containing mapping projects on different areas in Australia and New Zealand. Issues contain editing plan, overview and conclusions after they are done.
To make OpenStreetMap more navigable and accurate in guidance, our mapping team is planning to start an editing project in Australia and New Zealand.
Starting with January next year until June we will focus on road geometry, road name, oneways, signpost, turn restrictions, speed limit, lanes, turn lanes, hov lanes and toll roads in Auckland, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne.
In this project we will map lane number, turn lanes, HOV lanes and TOLL roads in these cities and we will focus on adding missing ones as well as improving the existing data in OSM.

How to map
We will follow the mapping scheme that is already used in the Australia, as it is described on this page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines For feature tags we will follow these guidelines: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Number_of_lanes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-occupancy_vehicle_lane#New_Zealand_and_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll_roads_in_Australia
Tags to be used:
lane number: lanes= ; lanes:forward= ; lanes:backward= *
turn lanes: turn:lanes:forward= ; turn:lanes:backward=
HOV lanes: hov:lanes= ; hov:lanes:forward= ; hov:lanes:backward= *
TOLL roads: toll=yes; barrier=toll_booth
