*Barcelona <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Barcelona> and London <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London> also uses this tag for similar and practical reasons: in London, the Great West Road <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Mile_%28Brentford%29> in London is among a number of trunk roads where it is practically better to use a designated cycleway, because of a high speed limit on the main carriageway (40 mph or 64 km/h). "* I'm also thinking of adding a list of countries that do and do not have compulsory cycleways. That should hopefully make things clearer.
