Interesting. This is sometimes called "Drive" but driving is not allowed... In fact, motorised vehicles are forbidden, only walking, cycling and horseback riding. It looks like cycling is the primary activity there, so maybe highway=cycleway isn't really that wrong. I'd guess it was set back to secondary to strictly follow the US tagging guidelines [1], which make no sense to me in this particular case. What makes this even more detached from expectations is that some bicycle routers (OSRM, GraphHopper) tend to avoid highway=secondary and higher, so a way that is primarily for cycling would end up being avoided.
