it depends what this meaning is. If you intend by meaning: cycleway is a way
with a bicycle-sign: fine, if you intent that all access rights should be
implicitly and globally given: no.

what's the difference? Minimum width differs 5 cm? Kind of sign? Forbidden
to pedestrians? Obligatory for bicycles? Forbidden to 25ccm? Blue lines
instead of white ones? If every smallest difference will cause another
top-tag, we'll get thousands of them.
