The tags cycleway=opposite, cycleway=opposite_lane, or cycleway=opposite track when coupled with a oneway=yes tag mean that bikes can travel in both directions on street while cars cannot. These tag combinations are working properly on OTP now. However when there is some sort of bicycle infrastructure in the direction of car traffic in addition to the opposite infrastructure it is necessary to add :right or :left to the tags above so that both infrastructure items can be indicated (so for example a bike boulevard with an opposite lane could be tagged cycleway:right=shared_lane, cycleway:left=opposite_lane). The problem is that these cycleway:left/right=opposite* tags when coupled with oneway=yes are not allowing bikes to travel against flow of traffic.
