Hello,

Thanks for this.  Your description is very clear, thanks.  In such a situation, the recommended tag is "bicycle=use_sidepath".  This is because routers will always consider that "bicycle=no" means a complete no.  But there are some cases where a cyclist may legally use the main road (for instance when this is the only possibility to do a left turn).  Good navigation software know the difference, so we suggest you’ll change it into bicycle=use sidepath, it is safer.  For this road, it looks like it won’t make a huge difference but it’s a good habit to take anyway.

Hope this helps.  Happy mapping!
