[Tagging] bicycle traffic is banned in one direction - only on carriageway

It seems to me that you describe case L1b in the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle#Cycle_lanes_in_bidirectional_motor_car_roads

I think there is no reason to use another tagging as described there,
(cycleway:right=lane cycleway:right:oneway=no, without the
"bicycle:oneway=yes").

bicycle:oneway=yes tells a router that this way is only viable for
bicycles in the direction of that way, but on the main carriageway they
are completely banned, and finally the tag cycleway:right:oneway=no is
conflicting.

It isn't clear to me, what you would want to say with the
"bicycle:oneway=yes". Do you mean each single lane? But this isn't even
for the other vehicles the use of the tag. For cars it is the normal
situation that if there are two lanes and it isn't oneway, that you use
each lane just in one direction, exceptions only in overtaking.

To state that the use of the tracks is compulsory you could at the
moment use bicycle=use_sidepath and give the track additional ways with
highway=cycleway. (See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath).

Greetings, Sebastian
