Why not "just" tag

?

Or is it intended to make QA of them easier?

The idea is to  spread out school related traffic jams and obviously keep the direct surroundings of the school entrance safe.

But upon closer inspection, it seems we went with this tag because the name and traffic signs are similar to the Dutch ones. However, contrary to in Holland, the traffic sign has a clear legal implication. Hence, it was explained to me, designation=cyclestreet would have been better for the Belgian case.
