*You* talked about 5 different meanings documented in the wiki. I found that
all of them say something like "specially designated (typically by a
government) for use by a particular mode (or modes) of transport." You
missed my central point when you skipped this phrase in your answer.

I have read most of this discussion - but instead of reading it twice I
prefer to go out for mapping some cycleways ...

By the way: Just read

(and the following discussion) and you should understand what I mean.

Bye,
