Bicycle infrastructure in one-way roads
If a cycle path is a contraflow bicycle way, i.e. runs in the opposite direction to the one-way street, it is necessary to explicitly specify a direction of travel for this cycle path that differs from the general direction of travel, e.g. cycleway:left:oneway=. This is necessary since otherwise it is generally assumed that cycle traffic is allowed to flow in the customary direction for traffic on the specified side of the road, which is the same on both sides for one-way roads.
See cycleway:oneway=* for details and examples on how to correctly use oneway tags for cycle lanes and tracks in one-way roads.
Example of a contraflow cycle lane on the left of the OSM direction of a one-way road :
