These use cases are handled by routing software making good use of data
such as cycleway=lane. Using the lcn/rcn tagging system to mark
safety/suitability is simply incorrect. In your example, there's a signed
bicycle route - so we map it. To do otherwise would be like not mapping a
car park because we don't think people should park there, or not mapping a
school because we don't think it's a good one.
