Well, in the Netherlands cyclestreet seems to be a "suggestional" traffic sign. In Belgium cyclestreet it has a clear legal meaning. In Germany bicycle_road has a clear (but quite different) legal meaning. So putting the Dutch and Belgian thing together but not the German, that doesn't make much sense. There's plenty of discussion on the Dutch forum about this. A fundamental remark: "apps that use the original German definition will see the road as forbidden for cars unless otherwise tagged", which does not make sense in Belgium or Holland.
