Not to be confused with *:lanes=* which specifies access on a per-lane basis.

=* is a prefix which denotes the amount of lanes which have been designated to a certain vehicle mode on a given highway (compare lanes=* which generally counts the total lanes for dual-track vehicles). It's most commonly used to count the amount of lanes for buses and public service vehicles, see lanes:bus=* and lanes:psv=* for more information but it has also been used for other vehicle modes like bicycles (see lanes:bicycles on Taginfo).

To specify the placement of designated lanes, use the suffix *:lanes=*.
