Smaller and single-lane as in individual half-width belts that can be placed independently? I think it would be more of a pain to play with, because now only would you now have separate left- and right- belt items, but also have more complex rotations to be able to convert one belt into another at a corner. Eg to convert a right-belt going east into a left-belt going south, you need to rotate just the tip of the right-belt, not the whole right-belt.

>I need resources to be on the other lane of a belt
A single splitter and a little space around it can swap a belt around if you need to. Or better yet, find the place where you're mixing the two items on the same belt and make the change there.

(The ╬ in the second diagram is a crossing of belt and underground belt.)
For single-item belts where everything's on one side and you want everything to be on the other side, it's even simpler.

The ╦ and ╩ are a vertical belt feeding into the side of a horizontal belt. Because the horizontal belt has another horizontal belt to its left, the point where the vertical belt touches it does not make a corner.
