[Tagging] Exclusive access rights

[Johan C]

I believe there is a solution, which is consistent to current tagging
styles and which complies to the Keep It Simple & Smart principle.

In the situation of a motorway with three lanes, of which the rightmost
lane is forbidden for motorvehicles (and PSV and HGV can use all three
lanes) the tagging would be: motor_vehicle:lanes=yes|yes|no
No other access=*, hgv=* or psv=* tag needed in this situation.

Cheers, Johan
