This is USA-specific in the example I now offer, though notable nonetheless in this context: there are routes, such as United States Bicycle Routes, which after they are Approved (by AASHTO), are, in a legal sense, "designated." However, some states have an aggressive signage program (MUTCD M1-8) to "route mark" these (with signs) and other states only "lightly sign" these "designated" routes. Nonetheless, there ARE route=* (*=bicycle in this case) relations, as the routes ARE designated, yet for a particular segment of the route, it may be a great many kilometers or miles before a sign is seen.
And I think Nate means "cycle track" (not tract), though "track" can be a value for the highway=* key if a "trail, road or track" is what is being denoted, then again so can any of path, road, service, unclassified (etc.) be used for values of highway=*. We might as well say what we mean, mean what we say and get it all out there!
