cycleway:lane=* which is to further refine the type of cycleway=lane.Specifies the type of cycleway=* on a per-lane basis.
Most highway adjacent bicycle infrastructure is built by having the cycleway near the edge. For this reason, cycleway=* in combination with *:left=*, *:both=* and *:right=* almost always refers to bicycle infrastructure near the edges. There are cases where this simple tagging style doesn't work, though: Some bicycle lanes are located between two motor lanes which is particularly common at turn lanes which renders cycleway=* even with a direction prefix insufficient.
For this reason, a newer tagging has been emerged with the *:lanes=* suffix: =*.
Keep in mind that for backwards compatibility and simpler tagging style, cycleway:left/both/right=* is still the preferred method of tagging most cycle lanes and are still in use for e.g. cycle tracks (both as separate way and as part of a highway) which are located outside of the corresponding carriageway (and thus aren't lanes at all) and sharrows which are defined by the lack of cycle lanes.
