There is no such thing as non mandatory cycleways in Switzerland, however there is no expectation that I use every possible cycleway in the country every time I get on a bicycle. Naturally the concept of mandatory only makes sense when there is an alternative road surface nearby that could be used instead. I see no point in subjecting the whole world to yet another bicycle tag just because the German legislative decided that it can't count on its populace turning its brain on. Essentially what they are saying: these ways are not mandatory because, since there is no alternative, you have no choice than to use them. Simon
