I'd prefer access=private as "no" doesn't apply (some people can cross
so "no" would be plain wrong). Maybe access=residents? We might also
use this for some Italian roads where destination is not the right
restriction (as you need also a written permit which residents get, on
the other hand maybe those cases could also be "private"? What are
your comments about access=residents?).

at least we shouldn't put wrong restrictions on purpose, because this
will prevent any software or human from understanding the situation. A
fixme is there to sign an error, it is not something I'd want to have
peramently on the map, and a note is OK for human trying to understand
the situation but we shouldn't rely on this when tagging a situation.

cheers,
Martin
