And even adding on that, what about a non-paved road with so many 
potholes or turning into a mudpool during the rainy season that it can't 
be travelled anymore by any vehicle.  Should I put motor-vehicle=no ?
Even the bollards here get driven over, a bollard made of just a wooden 
stem won't stop a truck driver from running over it, if their is no 
signage. Again local culture, local perception.
If there are trees growing next to a road, most of the drivers go there 
with a chainsaw, we cut it.  Should I use an access key to indicate that 
the road might be to narrow for a truck ?

That is why in Africa we consider access keys only to be used for legal 
access restrictions, not physical. For that we use other keys like 
smoothness, intermittent, seasonal etc.... .  That is why we have in the 
largest part of the world a completely different approach of highway 
tagging and that is why I would prefer to see it changed or at least 
forked (not just a "buried" continental variant), because what we have 
now as the global OSM standard is not usable, is not applicable in the 
rest, which is "the most" part of the world.
