IMO a cycleroad/cyclestreet should have the same behaviour as motorroad 
and not with an new/seperate highway-class.

highway=* _cycleroad=yes_ (or _cyclestreet=yes_ or _cycleway=street_. 
Prsonally I prefer cycleway=street because it's in the same meaning to 
use as cycleway=lane or cycleway=track)
