I'd only use cycleway=track if there's a track on both sides, otherwise I use cycleway:left=track or cycleway:right=track, as appropriate.
I also add a highway=cycleway alongside, because some applications prefer one method, some the other, and there's little harm having both (in my view). cycleway=track wasn't rendered on the cycle layer until fairly recently, and one-sided tracks _aren't_ rendered. So if you want them to show on the cycle layer, you need to create a separate highway=cycleway (or highway=footway|path+bicycle=yes|designated).
