Here's a question: when you have a cycleway lane/track, are bicycles prohibited from using the road or can they use the road if they wish to?
I suppose that this is different in different countries. In Germany there is a term called "Radwegebenutzungspflicht" which means that you are required to use a cycleway if there is a traffic sign like this: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Zeichen_237.svg There are some cases with cycleways not marked by this sign, but this is not the norm.
I wonder if when we generate a cycleway, we should be adding a bicycle=no to the original way?
As german law is concerned this would be the way to go. It may however not be that important, because I don't care which way the Garmin actually uses as they are on the same place anyway.
