Hi, great new update; however one issue: the road here: Vivian Road (Birmingham UK) is actually two way for cycles (contraflow) and has a really poor cycle lane but, nevertheless it is there. Looking at other OSM renders they at least have a green contraflow arrow which shows you can cycle two ways down the road

  Hi Lucia, You are correct. I checked Vivian Road on OSM and can see that cyclists are permitted to travel in both directions. There is no separate contraflow lane on OSM to describe this and our mapping is based on OSM. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. The good thing, though, about the OSM database is that it is user sourced and you can submit edits and add tags. It does take some time to add a new trail or get a path redesignated as bike-friendly, but it is an advstage of the OSM system. 

  Here is the OSM link for the Vivian Road: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4700862
