Hello, When mapping sidewalks and cycleways, it is possible to do so as tags on the line of the motorised way [1][2] or as standalone lines parallel to it [1][3]. When StreetComplete [4] asks users whether there is a cycleway in a street, it fills the tags on the main way. The wiki also says that, when mapping a parallel cycleway as a parallel line, one should not use the cycleway=* tag on the motorised way, whereas regarding sidewalks it suggests that sidewalk=separate could be added to the motorised way. Mappers can also add bicycle=use_sidepath [5] and foot=use_sidepath [1], though these are access restrictions, not descriptions of sidewalks and cycleways.
Which brings the question: could we also add cycleway=separate to express that a cycle track has been mapped separately?
