I see opposite_lane as being on the same piece of road surface as the highway, but separated with a painted line. opposite_track having a more substantial separation such as a kerb, bollards or grass verge. The cases of cycleway = opposite that I've come across in the UK are for slow moving residential streets, usually cul-de-sacs for motor vehicles but allow an exit for bikes & pedestrians.
