That's a router error. There are many gates in the western US on
tracks or unclassified roads. The gates can be opened (if they are
closed), & they should be left in the state you found them in.
Most are there to keep livestock on one side or the other.<br>
The road on one side or the other should have an access tag if it
isn't accessible. <br>
This particular case is clearly a router error. The user was not
using good judgment either, never trust a router. <br>

<div>On the subject of gates & access, we had a Note (<a

that somebody complained that their router told them to
use a different road, apparently because this one had a
gate on it? But the gate didn't include anything about
access=no / private, locked=yes or anything similar, it's
just tagged as a gate on an unclassified road? It's now
been tagged as access=yes to resolve this, but we assume
it's a router error?<br>

<p>Yes. Some routers avoid all gates (even some cycle routers).
It helps to find out which broken router is the problem in any
particular case.<br>
