I would also recommend to always add access tags to gates, unless you are
not sure. While there are surely many reasons (mainly animals) for a gate
where you do not want to exclude people from passing In the absence of
access tags, as a router I would set the default to "no" or "private" and
not let them pass.

Cheers,
