Was used on one-way streets that have a cycling lane going in the opposite direction to normal traffic flow (a "contraflow" lane) and combined with oneway:bicycle=no
. It's deprecated in favour of oneway:bicycle=*
and regular cycleway=*
tags.
Consider using cycleway:left=opposite_lane
or cycleway:right=opposite_lane
instead, as these describe on which side the contraflow lane is.
cycleway:left=lane
+ cycleway:left:oneway=-1
or cycleway:right=lane
+ cycleway:right:oneway=-1
Can be used also.
If a lane is bi-directional, see cycleway:left:oneway=*
or cycleway:right:oneway=*
Deprecated in the Netherlands
Just two and a half years before this tagging was generally deprecated in mid-2024, it had already been deprecated and replaced in the Netherlands.
