I prefer to explicitly tag the roads with the maxspeeds and access
rules. The reason: why would we enforce data consumers to consult
another data source to find this data. Why make it difficult to merge
that data with OSM data ?

What's the next step for splitting data: keep the address data
separately ? Borders ? Walking networks ?

I find one of the main benefits that OSM is almost a one-stop for all
your needs. Splitting off all kinds of data means that we lose this
benefit.

just my .5 cents

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.
