To clarify information about common tagging un Poland:

Mapping lanes (separated only by painted strip on the road) is neither
common nor accepted.

Mapping cycleways (separated from road by physical barrier) is common
and accepted.

There is a recent trend of unclear popularity and acceptance to map
separate highway=footway and highway=cycleway, instead of highway=path
+ bicycle=designated + foot=designated + segregated=yes (even in cases
  of no physical separation).
