<div> </div><div>I'd guess most of the cycleway=opposite_lane tags are situations where there's a contraflow lane in a one-way street. I'd probably tag that as cycleway:right=lane (+oneway:bicycle=no) myself, since otherwise you're prevented from specifying what's happening in the forward direction. But clearly cycleway=opposite_lane is still being used.</div>

</div>no - opposite_lane is useful in a one-way road to indicate cyclists<br>
can go both ways. There's nothing in cycleway:right=lane to suggest<br>
whether or not that cycle lane is with or against the traffic flow on<br>
a one-way road. Outside the Jeremy Bentham is a one-way cycle lane in<br>
the same direction as cars on the right hand side of a one way road,<br>
for example.<br>
