not sure if a cliff qualifies as slope in English, but there is also cutting to define slopes.

I agree that cutting and embankment are meant to be attributes for other ways they apply to (like railway or highway), and there might be room for another, more generic key to use independently to describe the terrain.

My proposal would be barrier=slope (implied or maybe not, by embankment and cutting).

cheers,
Martin
