Further Information

The proposal to deprecate the cycleway=opposite family is accepted (or as good as, given that right now the state of page was not change but all votes are in favor).

So lets talk about what we can do from the id-tagging-schema point of view to deprecate the tagging…

Following the examples https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Deprecate_cycleway%3Dopposite_family#Tagging_and_Examples we should be able to add these deprecations:

(Note: It is possible to add deprecation rules with multiple tags like in this example.)

  {
     "old": {"cycleway": "opposite"},
     "replace": {"oneway": "yes", "oneway:bicycle": "no", "cycleway:both": "no"}
  },
  {
     "old": {"cycleway:left": "opposite"},
     "replace": {"oneway": "yes", "oneway:bicycle": "no", "cycleway:left": "no"}
  },
  {
     "old": {"cycleway": "opposite_lane"}, // countries that drive on the right lane
     "replace": {"oneway": "yes", "oneway:bicycle": "no", "cycleway:left": "lane", "cycleway:left:oneway": "-1"}
  },
  {
     "old": {"cycleway:left": "opposite_lane"},
     "replace": {"oneway": "yes", "oneway:bicycle": "no", "cycleway:left": "lane", "cycleway:left:oneway": "-1"}
  },

~But looking at the usage numbers in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:Deprecate_cycleway%3Dopposite_family#Current_usage_in_the_OSM_database we really should only include the first two plus rather deprecations for cycleway:left=opposite and cycleway:left=opposite_lane. What would those two look like @SupaplexOSM?~

Update: Those are only the deprecations that are used >1k time.

There is the issue of traffic on the right lane with left/right
The matching does not check for oneway:yes because there are ways in Europe that don't have oneway even though they would be expected.

The other thing we should do is change the translations for the cycleway values to hint at the deprecation of the tag. This would be a replacement for https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/1271

Lastly, the field info-i and should ideally link to something that helps to learn more about the deprecation and how to update.
