I am not local, but just my two cents: I agree with Andrew that such specific state-wide rules (or exceptions to the rules) should be tagged as a single regional default, and highway features should have generic tags (unless there are relevant signage and routes, obviously), especially since those rules might change in the future.

The data consumers not using the data how it should be used shouldn't force us to create a big maintenance overhead.

Cheers

    What would that do to bike routing?


Well your router would need to look up the specific default whether that's something in the routing engine configuration, pulled from the OSM wiki, or pulled from the Victoria state relation def:* tags.

Which, practically speaking, will never happen.

In OSM terms, that's very much "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of The Leopard'"**
