[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - cycleway:doorzone

[Stefan Tauner]

I think the definition might be a bit too narrow (SCNR).
More specifically the wording "if a parked car opening a door would
intersect with the marked bicycle lane or path" that is repeated a few
times in the current text. This includes every lane/path where there is
no or a too small buffer/"neutral" zone between the boundary where the
car is allowed to be parked and the boundary of the lane.
I personally don't mind if that's the case if the lane is sufficiently
wide to avoid the range of the doors, i.e. if there is enough safe
space to fit the whole cyclist away from the cars while fully remaining
on the lane and cycling comfortably. That's objectively way better than
many other situations - especially with lanes on the street - and I
would not like to see them within the definition of a doorzone.

I have one particular street in Vienna in mind that has some buffer
that is often wide enough but not everywhere and car doors would at
least partially overlap with the cycleway. Some pictures, unfortunately
without a place where there clearly would be an overlap, but you get
the idea:
