<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If the "lane" is too narrow to function safely as a bike lane, then I would break the street way at this point, code the portion of the way that has the functional bike lane as cycleway=lane (if this is not a dual carriageway then use cycleway:left/right as apporopriate), and add a note tag that the bike lane going beyond is too narrow to serve as a bike lane. If the bike lane widens some distance after the restriction, then break the way again and tag that section with cycleway=lane again, leaving the non-functional stretch without a cycleway tag. My experience is that people who ride bikes on busy streets (which this one seems to be) don't like surprises, so showing a gap lets them know that something requires attention at that point. I think we will see routing software in the very near future that will list note tags.</pre>

Well, if it's the width that Anthony is concerned about:<br>
<br>
1. I wouldn't class this as too narrow for a bike lane. Single
file, yes, but still wide enough to cycle.<br>
<br>
2. Use width=*<br>
<br>
Is the adjacent path shared? if so, note that that would be the
safer passage.<br>
