cyclists don't use highway=path #1004

It seems that cyclists in a/b street don't use highway=path with bicycle=designated but drive on the carriageway instead. This makes the traffic simulation unrealistic in my city as almost all cycle ways are mapped that way as they are shared with (but segregated from) footways.

Sadly a known limitation right now. :( highway=path was recently imported in https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/pull/994, and the "Behavioral changes" section has notes about what supporting in the simulation layer would take. Also note #996 -- I'm prioritizing work on things like osm2streets right now for the foreseeable future. If you're interested in working on this kind of thing, let me know!
