[Tagging] Using restriction and restriction:vehicle for the same restriction relation should be discouraged

Yes, sounds good to me :+1:

One more interesting case I found is this: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10344810

restriction=no_right_turn
restriction:bicycle=give_way

But what is that supposed to mean? There are only two (2) such relations 
with restriction and restriction:bicycle=give_way tags. To me it seems 
like it would be better to use a separate relation for the give_way tag.

In conclusion maybe what should be stated in the wiki is the following?

* out of all restriction:vehicle[:conditional] tags the most specific 
one counts. redundancy should be avoided.
* combining restriction and restriction: is discouraged with the 
exception for future proposals where something like 
restriction:bicycle=unrestricted could replace the except tag
* give_way and maybe others should not be mixed with the no_<...> and 
only_<...> turn restriction tags
