highway=proposed, proposed=cycleway works well for ways that don't exist
yet. state=proposed somewhat less well.
One of my goals is to create route relations that don't have gaps in them.
To reach that in the official ones, we need those highway=proposed ways, no
problem there.

My other goal is to show cyclists what itinerary they can already use today
to bridge the missing parts to get from the start of the intended Fxx to
the end. In that relation I also want to have no gaps, hence the
duplication of ways for those parts that are already realised.

My solution would be to have many subrouterelations, but that would become
somewhat more complex.

I think in general, until most of them are signposted, they all (or most of
them) are hard to verify on the ground.

I had access to the official data, and I agree that fietssnelwegen is only
indicative, but as far as I understood, the official itinerary will pass
through the center of Veltem. So I have no idea why it is now signposted
south of the railroad in the field. I expect that this will change at some
point.

Yes, I hope they will come to their senses with that one. Lobbying is on
its way, but it won't hurt if we all write them a little email...

No idea, but I don't think they actually make use of OSM data.

Great!
