We need this kind of tags also for cycleways. I know many areas where the
international cycleway is using a quite heavy loaded street with only a
cyclelane next to it, where the parallel street is a nice calm street.

I think one tag is not enough or you have to be specific.

If I am in a hurry with a race-bicycle, I would take the bigger roads with
cycle-lanes but if I cycle with a 7 year old child I would prefer the low
traffic road even if there is no cycleway at all.

This is one way to add more useful information to a road. But we need at least
shoulder:surface, too
