How about some examples with access tags and/or opening_hours ?

What is wrong with using access tags ?

Nice one with completely empty own wiki page in two languages [1].
Wonder which import or editor did promote this tag ?

The map or the router ?
Sure you want to find the main entrance but access can be quite tricky
and entrance=student will lead to all kinds of other values, instead of
using access tags.

How about opening_hours ? Know many side entrances (entrance=yes) with
different opening_hours. Which maps shows this ?
