I'm not so sure that you can always piggyback cycle routes on top of
existing 'highway' ways anyhow - I've encountered NCN routes and
signposted walking routes that follow a residential street for some
its length and then turn off down a side alley. This makes me think
that ultimately the most appropriate solution might be to define a
new way for each designated route, sharing the same segments as the
underlying roads - or at least it would be if our editors were better
at representing / editing overlapping ways...
