That relation proposal looks useful. I had one awkward situation recently where a bike path and a road cross a freeway together. But half way over the bridge, the bike path crosses the road (that is, switches from the right side to the left, by making a right angled crossing). Since both bike path and road have "bridge=yes", it ends up rendering as though there is a bridge making the bike path cross over the road.
