<div>If the Dutch have a specific "cyclestreet" sign which is widely understood to mean something to road users, then I'd have said that's good enough to warrant a cycleway=cyclestreet, even if the sign doesn't generate any special traffic rules, just an expectation of priority/courtesy. But it wouldn't be sensible to use it for any old street with cycle route or destination signs.</div>

<div>I think the typical layout for a cyclestreet is for any parking to be in bays (ie with buildouts at junctions), resulting in a narrow carriageway, usually with a fairly constant width. This layout is sometimes done just for traffic calming anyway. It becomes a cyclestreet when you add a recognised sign.</div>

<div>If you've got something a little more wholesale in America/Canada, then great. But the general principle is the same - you've signed it to create an expectation of priority for through cycle movements.<br></div>
