OMG the Germans have overtaken the wiki. I just noticed this
change to the motorcar access definition:
<div><a

<div>I used motorcar to mean automobile in the past, although
most of the time the restrictions were more general.
motorcar=no meant probably also hgv=no, but in access=no &
motorcar=yes I don’t think that hgv=yes is implied.</div>

I don't use it. Ands I don't think I've seen it .. the motor_vehicle
is the one I use and see. <br>
Look at the wiki pages for these values shows motor_vehicle is ~3
times more frequent in the data base than motorcar. <br>
<br>
When you look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:motorcar">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:motorcar</a> <br>
it has some details that make the change possibly valid ...<br>

also used to describe the wider category of vehicles, as in most
countries that follow the Vienna Convention. A separate sign that
prohibits use especially for passenger cars is not included in the
Vienna Convention and is also absent in the legislation of most
joining European countries (absent in 19 of the 20 countries listed
in this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
