This page describes a key suffix rather than a simple key.

The *:lanes=* keys are used to specify properties for each lane of a way. Keep in mind that while lanes=* only includes dual track vehicles (e.g. motorcars but no bicycle lanes) and excludes single track vehicles, *:lanes=* includes lanes of all vehicles (including bicycle lanes).
