Why only `hov=designated` and not all access tags, such as `hov:yes`,
`hov=no` and so on? From the Wiki:
- designated: The way is designated to high occupancy vehicles.
- yes: High occupancy vehicles are allowed. This by itself does not imply that other vehicles are restricted from using the way.
- no: High occupancy vehicles are not allowed on the way. This by itself does not imply that other vehicle types are allowed to use it.
The primary use-case is conditionally filtering ways such as:

In addition there is a notion of HOV lanes for lane handling:

This changeset does not handle lanes at all, only designated HOV ways.
For HOV lane support, a logic similar to the lane access handling needs
to be implemented. This needs to go hand in hand with the existing lane
handling introduced in:
