I disagree. Nothing is more subjective than a sense of danger. There are 
a few roads in my home town that I hear from one or two people are "very 
dangerous" and "should be avoided by bicycle" where I have no problem 
with those roads at all and use them daily.
How can I determine that from a very subjective "dangerous" tag. I would 
have to see that road for myself to determine if I find it dangerous or 
not, making that tag useless.

If you want such a classification, you would need to tap into crime and 
accident statistics for that road.
