Description

See title and wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lanes

I assume this applies not only to lanes=* rather also to:

  • lanes:forward=*
  • lanes:backward=*
  • lanes:both_ways=*
  • lanes:psv=*
  • lanes:psv:forward=*
  • lanes:psv:backward=*
  • lanes:bus=*
  • lanes:bus:forward=*
  • lanes:bus:backward=*
  • lanes:hov=*
  • etc...

Seems there is a corresponding JOSM check, with error message: lanes must be a positive integer number https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/10837

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing validators in iD (e.g., in modules/validators/) and add a new validator for numeric lane values. Refer to the JOSM implementation for guidance.
