Another possibility is bicycle:dismounted=no. Dismount is a verb, dismounted is an adjective. So, bicycle=dismount and bicycle:dismount=yes would both logically apply to the cyclist, meaning "you should dismount at this point", bicycle:dismount=no would logically apply to the cyclist, meaning "you should not dismount at this point", bicycle:dismounted would apply to the bicycle, meaning "dismounted bicycles are allowed", and bicycle:dismounted=no would apply to the bicycle, meaning "dismounted
bicycles are not allowed".<br>
