If yes, then mapping it likely would be fine.
If it is clearly signposted but it is not verifiable by survey then some

So yes, something got broken on OSM servers.
Not sure whatever creating issues on openstreetmap/operations is helpful.

For the first step maybe comparing names with mostly ignoring geometry
Also, in nearly any dataset some errors will appear.
If error is in OSM then fixing is relatively easy, just edit OSM.
But what if centerline in government data is wrong?
Malformed geometry, mapping of nonexisting road etc

Good idea, there are some people trying to use
Not sure is there tool doing something like that (I am aware about counter of
total
road distance of mapped roads), and presenting results online.
But standard way to do this would be running query on a pgsql database or using
QGIS.
JOSM has area tool (as a plugin), but it would double count
Is it possible that they are listing
roads with minor traffic, connecting
parts of real bicycle infrastructure?
In my city (Kraków, Poland) municipality
was doing someting like that.
Partially it was reasonable, partially
desperate attempt to hide traffic state
of bicycle infrastructure.

I used landuse=industrial industrial=warehouse for something similar.

even one that has specialized equipment supporting it.
