My guess is that you have to create two ways on the same nodes...

cycleway=*
Does this help at all?

I believe cycleway=opposite may be what you're looking for. It's a rather unintuitive tag, have a read up and see if it helps.

daveemtb: the wiki page is kinda confusing... (I've read the talk page too).
If I tag it with cycleway=lane on a oneway residential street would it mean that the direction of cycling is the same as the highway? because, if so... then it's not true: you can cycle both ways on that line.
Also, opposite_lane doesn't help either: would that mean that you can go in the opposite way as the car traffic? Also, not true.

matclab: how would I do that?

Basically the street is like this - skipped sidewalks:

# car use(2 lanes): =========>
# bike use: <-----------
# bike use: ----------->

> <, denotes direction of move

Looking at the picture, that is cycleway=opposite_lane.

From the wiki: “The route is a lane, but bicycles may go in the direction opposite of other traffic.” This means the cycleway may go in either direction, even though the vehicle traffic may only go one way. :)

So that's highway=something;oneway=yes;cycleway=opposite_lane;

thanks! that was causing the confusion, because in my view, to "go in the direction opposite of other traffic" sounded like an enforcement for the way direction.

I know, it's a bit of a misleading tag, but it's pretty easy once you understand it. :)

I'd either use cycleway=opposite on the same way, or add a separate parallel way with highway=cycleway.
