This doesn't make much sense to me. For starters, in many places roads with bike lanes prohibit cycling outside the bike lane. And since there isn't much difference between a shoulder and a bike lane, it doesn't make sense to distinguish between "bicycle=yes" and "bicycle=shoulder_only". Secondly...I really can't see how the presence or absence of bicycle restrictions changes the status of the road at all. In my area, some freeways allow bicycles, some don't. It would be completely incorrect to presume that those that don't are "more freeway-like". http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.836649,144.801765&z=19&t=h&nmd=20100416 http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.790341,145.039779&z=19&t=k&nmd=20100416 You tell me which of those is a highway=motorway and which is a highway=trunk.
