[Tagging] bike crossing with priority

In Sweden, there are legally two types of crossing between a cycle path a 
and a road (or three, if you count the large number having no marking):

"cykelpassage" is where the cycle path users have to yield to traffic (of 
any kind) on the road. And some other minor rules. It has separate 
markings, and is distict from when a cycle pathds crosses a road without 
marking (which is somewhat stangely interpreted by some at the authorities 
as no cycle path crossing).

"cykelöverfart" has signage with a sign similar to pedestrian crossing, 
and traffic on the road has to yield to cyclists crossing.

Official information (in Swedish): 
https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/sv/vagtrafik/Trafikregler/Generella-trafikregler/Cykeloverfart/

Currently, no distinction between the two or three classes seems to be 
mapped in Sweden. Should I use cycleway=crossing for both kinds, or just 
for the priority crossings even if both have a specific legal status?

Or is there some tag to specifically mark a priority cycle crossing?

(other countries, like the Netherlands, seems to, rather more sensible, 
use reglular yield and stop signs for road users at a priority cycle crossing).

thanks in advance!
