Together with user Masimaster I've made a proposal for a new tag to improve bicycle routing. I think (and hope) the wiki is clear enough but I’ll say a few words about this new tag.
The tag <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle_use_cycleway> is introduced to separate 2 kinds of roads where you are not supposed to ride your bike. The first is a road with a traffic sign (bicycle icon with red edge) that makes clear it is forbidden to ride a bicycle . (common tag: bicycle=no) The second is a road that has a parallel compulsory cycleway but does not have the bicycle forbidden sign. On this type of road you’re not supposed to ride your bike but there are exeptions. Legally these 2 roads are not the same. For example.. in NL some 3 wheel bicycles with certain measurements are allowed to ride the second type of road. In other countries there is also a legal difference. For this reason we propose this new tag. Cheers PeeWee32
