So there are actually law books there that say "road so-and-so may be
/ may not be cycled on"? And are you supposed to carry that law book
with you if you get to a new city to decide whether or not you are
allowed to take that shortcut there?

No, on the contrary. I think we should use whatever clue is available
as to the intention of the road owner of what kind of transportation
the road is meant for. But I do this with clues on and around the road
itself. A sign to me is merely a very clear and (usually) definitive
and unambiguous clue. As such, I see no need to give it a category of
its own.
