The major problem I have with splitting cycleways of the highway is the missing reference to the highway. In Germany you have to use a cycleway by law (with some exceptions) and if the cycleway and the highway are mapped as two highways I do not get the information if the cycleway belongs to the road (have to use) or if it is a seperate road (can use). E.g. we need to find a solution how to connect all the objects of a road. Cheers Colliar
