In England and Wales, byways that are either "Restricted Byways" (RBs) or "Byways Open to all Traffic" (BOATs) may be used by cyclists as of right - i.e. not merely 'available'. Mike Harris

I forgot cycleway=opposite in my first reply, but it really isn't a cycleway. Imo, "cycleway" is a bad choice of key for this, something like oneway:bicycle=no would be much more appropriate. Unlike cycleway=opposite_lane and cycleway=opposite_track, there isn't any road or section of road specifically intended for bicycles, so it isn't more of a cycleway than any ordinary road. Of course, a cyclemap should still make sure to visibly indicate whether an oneway rule applies to bicycles.
