[Tagging] Intermittent highways?

[Warin]

I too would suggest opening_hours.

Seasonal is related to the climate and the climate does vary from one 
year to the next and may be why the tag has a 'loose description'. An 
annual festival is not usually held for an entire climatic season, so I 
would not use it for them. Similar argument with intermittent with the 
added argument that it is not water related.
