I feel like we left Seppe hanging.
A general registry is somewhat hard to obtain / organize in the foreseeable future.

So the question should first be: different meanings for bicyle-road per country or not ?

However, the description of bicycle_road in the Wiki [3] is different from de definition of the cycle streets in Belgium (e.g. bicycle road implies that cars are not allowed, this is not the case for our cycle streets). The Dutch wiki suggests cycleway=cyclestreet [4], but cyclestreet=yes is also used. So I ask you, dear community, what should we do? When there is a consensus, it might be good to add this to the Belgian Wiki.
