This is why I've largely ignored the DfT data. It just isn't accurate enough to blindly copy into OSM ad hoc. I enter cycle lane data such as this only when I have been to an area & actually seen it, which renders most of the DfT info worthless.
The intention certainly is that people should be merging it only with local knowledge.
However, I've certainly found it pretty accurate (well above 90%) in the areas I know and have merged in. Cambridge for instance has a lot of infrastructure, and the data here is good, despite being one of the earliest to be surveyed 3-4 years ago.
Which area(s) have you found to be inaccurate, out of interest?
I've even seen data for NCN 4 that's illegal where it suggests a right hand turn but is explicitly denied by signs.
There aren't any turn restrictions in the data as far as I'm aware.
