[Tagging] Doorzone bicycle lanes

[Jan Michel]

Hi,
I oppose adding this officially to the top-level cycleway:lane tag.
I see this information as one more property of the cycleway, like
surface, smoothness, width and so on.

We already have a documented key 'cycleway:buffer' that is described
as the width of the buffer space between car lanes and the bicycle lane.
The 'cycleway:buffer' tag is also used combined with :left and :right to 
denote the buffer on left-hand and right-hand side of the cycleway.

Mappers in Berlin worked on a more detailed tagging of buffer and 
protection of bicycle lanes, see (unfortunately in German only)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Berlin/Verkehrswende/Radwege

I'd suggest to get in contact with them and discuss this. I imagine that
this information could fit very well into the cycleway:buffer tag - A 
door zone is a non-existent buffer, so instead of 'no' one could use
'doorzone' as one of the non-numeric values.
