Judging from the description, "shared_lane" means that there are bike markings on the side of the road, but no full lane. We have something like that here: usually a bike symbol with a metre or so of dotted line next to it. > My solution would be to tag a "Radfahrstreifen" with cycleway=lane AND > cycleway:bicycle=designated and a "Schutzstreifen" with cycleway=lane > AND cycleway:bicycle=designated. But this will break > backward-compatibility. I take it you meant: Radfahrstreifen: cycleway=lane, cycleway:bicycle=designated Schutzstreifen: cycleway=lane, cycleway:bicycle=yes That seems sensible, and follows all the existing semantics. What "backward-compatibility" does it break? > In the wiki there is also a tag for sharrows. But the description > starts with "As shared_lane, ...". Does that mean that sharrows are > tagged with cycleway=shared_lane, or is cycleway=sharrow the tag > describing the markings on the road? The English is a bit unclear. "As shared_lane..." here means "Used the same way as shared_lane". This seems like a pretty dumb tag: cycleway=sharrow has exactly the same meaning and function as cycleway=shared_lane except the marking on the ground happens to look like a chevron.
