Agreed. It is the effect we need to tag.
If we only use the oneway tag where it is explicitely signed, we get a routing
problem on cycleways in the Netherlands.
In most cases, when there are cyclepaths on both sides of a road here, the
cycleways are oneway in the appropriate direction (on the rightmost side of
the road).
The cyclepaths may or may not have a no-entry sign at the end and may or may
not have one-way signage where you join the path from the left (or right).
If a cyclepath is two-way, this is explicitely signed with arrows in both
directions.
