30 km/h access roads for housing often run parallel with the road. Even when they're one way, they allow cycling in both directions.
They also join up with cycl epaths to allow direct access by bike to places where you have an indirect route by car. Play the video to see a part of the cyclepath that this one heads into. Note that there is an identical path on the other side of the road. Also note how the car gives way to me cycling past at the junction. This is normal.
There are many other cycle paths in different directions through the woods that this one passes through.
