Jack, Good question. I am curious about the answer as well, specifically regarding bicycle lanes, which can be added using this method.
Setting a right side bike lane to ...yes|designated doesn't preclude other vehicles from accessing the right lane, as you said. I thought about adding |no for regular access, but wouldn't that general access contradict the other tags? The Mapbox data team has been doing lots of turn lane tagging around the US [1], so perhaps a member of the team there can provide insight on this.
