If you can infer defaults from legislation, sure, but as has previously 
been said you explicitly can't do that here.

Er, no.  As I was trying to say, you can't rely on (official) traffic 
signs  everywhere in the world.  Sometimes you need to infer access 
rules.  If I see a locked gate and a picture of a rottweiler, I'll map 
the driveway behind it as "access=private". You may disagree, but I'll 
let you deal with the rottweiler.

That may be technically correct in some cases, but isn't always a good 
idea.  To take an example I recently mapped, strictly speaking the 
access tags on https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/263486696 really apply 
to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/738985023 (the full extent of which 
remains unmapped), but having access tags on a surrounding area isn't 
where any data consumer is going to expect to find them.  They do of 
course apply to the track (so what is mapped is not wrong - just not 
complete).

Best Regards,
