Great minds think alike (and then there's my mind)!  I was out on my  
bike yesterday thinking about this problem.  Yes, we need something  
more than a binary "bicycle=yes" or "bicycle=no".  I was thinking of  
an open-ended scale, but you are right to bound it at plus or minus  
three.  I assume that you mean the default for an ordinary residential  
road to be zero?
