    Considering the keys pointed to by Zeke, I also like
    winter_service=no.   <br>
    <br>
    There are a few US or state highways in CO which close, the tagging
    is not consistent.<br>
    <br>
    US 34, Independence pass<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/627645541#map=17/39.10849/-106.55914">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/627645541#map=17/39.10849/-106.55914</a><br>
    "motor_vehicle"="conditional=no @ winter"<br>
    <br>
    US 34, Rocky mtn NP,  way 329057779<br>
    has it embedded in the name and also:<br>
    access:conditional=no @ Oct 14th - May 31st<br>
    <br>
    I'd like to point out that many of the roads in the rocky mtns are
    not maintained in the winter.   That goes for almost every forest
    service road, and many county roads.   I think it's proper to leave
    these without an explicit winter tag with the implicit understanding
    that safe passage is not guaranteed.    <br>

        </div>
        <div>winter_service=no looks like the simplest option to me, but
          not knowing how the data will be used, the safest bet is
          probably to put  <i>"closed in winter"</i> right in the name
          as is the case with VT 108.  It's not correct data modeling,
          but it will mean people looking at a map are sure to see it.<br>
