Sure, but designated as unsuitable is not about right of access; it's a
different kind of attribute.   So something like

unsuitable=hgv

would denote that there is some official signage saying hgvs are
unsuitable, and separate that from notions that they are prohibited.

This may seem pedantic, but using the osm data is confusing enough
already, and legal rights and physical reality are entirely separate
issues.
