cycleway=opposite_lane means travel in *both* the forward direction,
and the backward direction. I don't think we have a way to express a
road which has a cycleway only in the opposite direction (that
actually doesn't sound that crazy, I'm sure I've seen things like that
in France - when riding with traffic, there are no markings, but
against traffic there is a lane primarily to stop cars from thinking
you're breaking the law). Or maybe I'm not reading the wiki correctly.

I suppose a much simpler scheme could have been invented, but anyway.

 Maybe adding a cycleway:lanes=2 could clarify (at least for
