? Abuse opening_hours by 'introducing' free form text? It is allowed, so 
not an introduction nor an abuse.

I was not aware that condition allowed free form text. Both tags are 
poorly documented for this on the wiki.

Yes, I think so, but the documentation for free form text is not clear. 
Is open_hours better? I don't know.

  Some roads are closed in winter but this could be applied as either 
seasonal or conditional depending on the mapper.

I think I have tagged some but cannot recall which way I did it.

Would be usefull to do a tag info search for the more popular one and 
then document it on the wiki.
