You think it implies that because it's a cycleway=* tag? I wouldn't read too much into the tag itself - the meaning of the tag is whatever the documentation for the tag says. > Would you use a cycleway tag on any sidewalk that one can ride on (here that > would be any outside city limits), or just those that have been specially > designated as such? I don't do any mapping in the US - it depends what your local community decides. cycleway=sidewalk doesn't sound terrible to me. We do have a situation here where sometimes footpaths (sidewalks) have signs allowing cycling on them (the default is no). Usually we actually trace out that section as a highway=cycleway. (We don't distinguish it from any other bike path.) If it's more common than that, you probably want a different solution.
