[OSM-talk] Cycleways and Access tags: Left, Right, Forward, Backward?

[rob.j.nickerson at gmail.com]

Are there any cases of that?

Wouldn't you assume that the cycle lane is on the same side as the flow of  
traffic (so forward would imply left in GB)? Surely the same argument can  
be made that cycleway:left tells you which side of the road it is on but  
doesn't tell you the direction of flow.
