I didn't know about cycleway:buffer, it sounds good but I don't think alone
it is enough because:

- It doesn't indicate if cars can be parked next to the cyclelane (as a
doorzone only occurs when there are parked cars). I know we can marked a
parking lane with parking:lane:parallel but I think it's better to have an
explict way to say the cyclelane is in a doorzone.
- Can be hard to measure distances and hence hard to say at what distance
is considered in the door zone or not. In all the examples I know of there
is no buffer so cycleway:buffer:left=no (for left hand side driving) but a
half meter buffer might still be considered within the doorzone.

The current wiki page for cycleway:buffer implies cycleway:buffer is
between the cyclelane and traffic lane, it feels safer to never use
cycleway:buffer and instead always explicitly state cycleway:buffer:left
and cycleway:buffer:right, but it does get complicated with counterflow
cyclelanes.

That sounds good, except I think cycleway:lane:doorzone=no should mean that
no part of the cyclelane is within the doorzone or there is no car parking
and hence safe from doorzoning. cycleway:lane:doorzone=yes means that any
part of the cyclelane is prone to doorzoning and
cycleway:lane:doorzone=buffered means that there is a buffer to protect
from doorzoning, so while mostly you'll be safe from doorzoning you might
still want to exercise some caution.

I think this then can work in combination with cycleway:buffer:left and
cycleway:buffer:right.
