I would prefer not to see cycleway:lane=mandatory as this suggests that
cyclists have to use the lane when set. In the UK, the significance of the
solid white line separating a cycle lane and main carriageway is that motor
vehicles are not allowed to use the cycle lane, but cyclists can use either the
cycle lane or main carriageway. I would only want to see mandatory used if
there is also a separate sign prohibiting cyclists from the road (and I am not
sure whether any of these exist). I suggest cycleway:lane={exclusive|advisory}
which are existing tags according to the wiki. Note that UK cycle lanes can
also be used by pedestrians, so are not strictly exclusive to cyclists.
Cheers,
Mike
