    I would guess that Google is simply wrong. In the US it has been known to lead drivers into cornfields. Commented Jul 20, 2015 at 12:29

    As the answers show, many streets in Europe which are one-way for cars are two-way for bicycles but your assumption is a very bad one! Always follow local regulations, no matter what Google Maps shows you. It even says "These directions are for planning purposes only. You may find that construction projects, traffic, weather, or other events may cause conditions to differ from the map results, and you should plan your route accordingly. You must obey all signs or notices regarding your route." Commented Jul 20, 2015 at 15:11
  • @Max Exactly which of my sentences is "my assumption that is very bad one"? Or exactly which sentence states (in your opinion) that I do not want to follow local regulations? I was more than sure that I wrote something completely opposite! To cite: "it seems quite unnatural for me to bike against traffic on a one-way street" and "which would suggest that biking against traffic on a one-way streets is strictly prohibited unless otherwise stated".
