That could be best served by a tag designated=value ? The value could be 
taken as text by a render thus providing for all possibilities.
Much simpler than the highway access thing of individual tags of 
motor_vehicle=yes etc.

Disagree. But 'splitting hairs' to do it.

access=private is defined as "Only with permission of the owner on an 
individual basis"
access=designated is defined as "A preferred or designated route for a 
specific vehicle type or types,"

So "private" means individual permission, designated means permission 
for a group/type.

The above hotel I used as an example maybe open to all the employees of 
a firm, thus 'designated'. If it were open to only to individually 
granted employees of a firm then it would be private.
The permission is not on an individual basis but 'designated' to a group 
of people, not individually.

I don't think access=designated can be replaced with access=private.
