I try to answer the observed practice in my home region (Bielefeld,
NRW, Germany) as far as I had a deeper look on it.<br>

<br>
Yes: Usually I'd expect that oneway=yes applies to all vehicles on
that osm way unless explicitly stated oneway:bicycle=no (according
to german traffic laws).<br>
<br>

<br>
Yes: The above rule would be applied similarly.<br>
<br>
highway=tertiary cycleway:both=track oneway=yes would be avoided
here. Mappers here create additional ways for the cycleways.<br>
<p>Usually one would expect traffic signs that clarify the situation
which could be translated in osm tags. Then you had a sign in
addition to the "no entry"-sign "bicycles free" which would be
tagged as bicycle:oneway=no. In case of cycleway:both=track
bicycle:oneway=no I would assume that the situation would be that
you still have to ride on the right side so each track would be
still oneway for the bicycles!</p>
<p>According to overpass there are only very few examples for this
combination in Germany at all. Some seem to be tagging mistakes
(2x in splitted ways approaching roundabouts in Hamburg, where
there are surely not bicycles tracks on both sides, probably by
creating two ways in the approach to the roundabout for each
direction without deleting the cycleway:both=track on each way),
there only remain 2 examples in Bamberg, with Mapillary it is very
clear (arrows on the tracks) that in this case in fact each single
track is still oneway. These ways are tagged bicycle:oneway=no
(this is important for routing along that way, it doesn't give
information about the status of the single tracks).<br>
</p>

<p>This wouldn't be a good idea. How should a routing application
for bicycles know what is possible?<br>
</p>
<p>>So would apply to pedestrians if used on highway=footway</p>

<p>That's not the typical usage here in this area. <br>
</p>
<p>The most occurrances of highway=footway oneway=yes are where you
have an allowance on a designated footway for other vehicles. And
in this case the oneway=yes is used for the vehicles and not for
the pedestrians:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">foot = designated</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">highway = footway</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">motor_vehicle = destination</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">name = Wandweg</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">oneway = yes</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">oneway:bicycle = no</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">surface = asphalt</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">vehicle = destination</span></li>
</ul>

</p>
<p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand I assume that in the following example it may
be meant that pedestrians should only pass in one direction. <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">bicycle = no</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">bridge = yes</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">highway = footway</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">horse = no</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">layer = 2</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">motor_vehicle = no</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">name = Baumwipfelpfad Bad
Iburg</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">oneway = yes</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">oneway:wheelchair = no</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">surface = wood</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">wheelchair = yes</span></li>
<li><span class="is-family-monospace">width = 2 <br>
