6 years ago Hu? Wait, did you try to rotate the map?
The street illustration is always rotated exactly like it is displayed on the map.

I think for the cycleway quest the direction really matters, as you can add another way on the other site. So in the map there should be an arrow, so you can see which direction you are currently editing.
Also, I hope, by default the right side is added, is not it? That is not obvious from the UI as it shows the cycleway at the top (and the "other side" at the bottom) of that image.
Maybe you can turn this for 90°, so the right side is really right from the users point of view. And the left site is left. This would then also match the road when walking/driving/… the road as it exactly matches the "real world situation" the user is currently seeing. And when there is e.g. a cycleway only on the left, the user then sees this immediately, instead of maybe inadvertently adding a wrong value. So you could prevent some accidental changes.
Also the user has to be aware not to add the left side cycleway, if the street in the other direction is mapped separately. I don't know a solution for that, maybe we can just assume the user is clever enough to see that (if there are two streets on the map), but it is still a point of failure. Especially as you have to imagine users with no knowledge of OSM – they likely won't know streets can also be mapped separately using one-ways.
So the first two things can be solved with small UI tweaks, the last thing may be more complex and I'd don't argue to change anything there. Just wanting to let you know…
