Hello, author here! https://safecyclingmap.com is currently using Mapbox GL JS because I wanted to tinker with the Mapbox Directions API and geocoding. It also works great with Maplibre GL JS, I've got a branch ready to go: https://github.com/jakecoppinger/safe-cycling-map/tree/mapli... The replies are also correct - I'm using the CyclOSM tiles (https://www.cyclosm.org), and the lane shapes are generated by osm2streets, which Dustin Carlino (https://github.com/dabreegster) wrote in Rust! (https://github.com/a-b-street/osm2streets).

One of the authors of https://github.com/a-b-street/osm2streets here. If you're interested in improving the quality of the lane rendering, please get in touch on the repo! https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/tech/map/geometry/index.ht... is an older, but still relevant, deep-dive into how the geometry is calculated.

We're working on rendering more detail about roads for high-zoom cases: https://github.com/a-b-street/osm2streets. Try https://a-b-street.github.io/osm2streets/?test=st_georges_cy... and press "Generate details"
