We're getting very much into national detail here but just to give an example, look at this aerial image (which is 100 metres from my office BTW): http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=49.007912,8.378746&spn=0.000729,0.001026&t=h&z=20 The road going east-west is a former residential road with different lanes for each direction of travel, plus diagonal parking spaces in the middle. It is over 20 metres wide. This road has now been designated a "Fahrradstrasse" (cycle road). Motorized traffic is still allowed at "adequate speeds" (whatever that means). While I am not a big fan of endless tagging discussions, tagging the road above as "highway=cycleway, car=yes" strikes me as grossly misleading. Maybe it should simply retain highway=residential. After all, the "residentialness" of the road has not changed one bit since it was designated a cycle road.
