Then a router can use the way if it wants to give precedence to cycle routes (by evaluating relations) 8) signed cycle route, cycling is illegal and this rule is enforced > The illegality is implicit or explicit in the tagging of the way. I would normally not include such ways in a bicycle route relation. However, sometimes it makes sense to include a short footway or a short piece of road against its oneway direction. In this case the router can route over it, but at a penalty equivalent to bicycle=dismount. > > > I am not sure what would be the best solution of situation.

If signposted, use relations for tagging. Volker (Italy, but expressing personal views that are not necessarily shared by other mappers)
