1) Well, sometimes it's the best way
2) I'll look it up. Cyclelanes: Same in Germany.
3) Valid point. For now I would say, one should look for bicycle=use_sidepath on the road. Also, if that cycleway is truly mandatory, it means one has to use it, so both roads off limits, so to speak. But I have to think about that a little more.
