But a simple (read ideally one or two tags) attribute that enables data users to bisect a set of motorized ways by the sidewalk or sidepath property may simplify a lot of queries.
sidewalk=separate is currently used a fair bit to indicate that "there is a sidewalk mapped separately, with its own tags on it": https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sidewalk#values . Unfortunately the values used for cycleway are a bit more complex: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/cycleway#values - it's not clear to me which of those tags have the meaning "X is mapped separately", with the possible exception of the relatively low use https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/cycleway=separate .
"sideride" is used even less, undocumented, and doesn't mean anything in English (so it's difficult to even guess what it might mean).
"replacing" sidewalk=* with e.g. sidewalk:left=* is not a good idea since there are 1,186,931 existing objects. For comparison https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/sidewalk%3Aleft shows only 504 uses.
