This is similar to a low water crossing:

I don't think we use any special highway=* tags for those, or for other
roads that may be dangerous at times (e.g. heavy snow, military proving
grounds). If someone ignores signs and physical conditions, it's not our
fault, and we shouldn't tag incorrectly to get routing software to
ignore these roads.
