Please, no. Spamming oneway=no, cycleway=no, bridge=no, toll=no,
opening_hours=24/7 for nearly all highway=* ways is not helpful (all
are real examples) is not helpful.

In really rare cases oneway=no may be more useful that irritating (in
theory the same applies to other tags), but it is really rare.
