It should not prevent this. We already use tags like bicycle=no on
crossings, and they do not mean that bicycles may not travel along the
street being crossed - only that this crossing is not for them.

More generally, it would be wrong to assume that any access tag on a
node within a street applies to that street. That is only the case if
used together with particular other tags, such as barrier=*.
