[Tagging] Road barrier

[David Swarthout]

Huh?

access=motorcar is for motorhomes?  That's not the way I interpreted it. I thought a motorcar was the same as an automobile, like a family car. A motorhome is a large vehicle that's suitable to live in. That's from an American English perspective.

Sorry for asking again, but does anyone know if motorcar=no implies
that there is no access for all multi-track motor vehicles or only for
motorcars?

In case hgv are permitted I’d explicitly tag it with hgv=yes, but according to the wiki, motorcar only implies motorhome:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access

Yes, unfortunately the european common-in-use traffic sign "VEHICLES PROHIBITED EXCEPT MOTORBIKE/SIDECAR" or "Prohibited for any double-tracked motor vehicles" has no equivalent in the OSM access scheme.
I think it is time for a <access>=double_tracked (motor vehicles)!
