oneway:bicycle=yes explicitly specifies that road is oneway for cyclists (opposite of oneway:bicycle=no).
It is almost always unnecessary if the road is already has oneway=yes[1].
Usage
Rare example of road twoway for cars and oneway for cyclists - note cycleway lane on left and sign forbidding cyclists on the right. It is from this location
oneway:bicycle=yes is/can be used:
- For places where, in most cases, bicycles have oneway access, it can be handy for mappers to map that it is not the case for a particular road (oneway:bicycle=yes). That way it is easy to check if a road has been checked/categorised (oneway:bicycle=no/yes) or not (no oneway:bicycle tag)
- For a highway=path or highway=footway or highway=pedestrian in combination with bicycle=yes to explicitly specify that the path is only oneway for cyclists but not for pedestrians (highway=footway + bicycle=yes + oneway=yes + oneway:foot=no + oneway:bicycle=yes)
- For other roads that are generally not oneway but is oneway for cyclists
- For roads that used to be oneway:bicycle=no but situation changed - explicit oneway:bicycle=yes may be useful
- For roads where some other sources claim to be oneway:bicycle=no but it is incorrect
- A road that contains bicycle infrastructure such as cycleway=opposite_lane that usually would result in oneway:bicycle=no but road is anyway oneway for cyclists (this is usually result of badly designed road or a temporary state)
Not needed usage
- In combination with highway=cycleway. To indicate a cycleway is one direction, just use oneway=yes.
- In combination with oneway=yes where it adds no useful info
