[Tagging] Two way street, but entry of motor vehicles blocked at one end. Relation correct? Tagging correct?

This tagging (a short section marked as oneway) is also quite usual in Germany
for this case, but restriction=no_entry is slowly becoming popular too.

In Germany these streets are called "Unechte Einbahnstraße" (faux oneway
street) and happen quite often there when a city council or traffic department
wants to introduce a one-way street but can't because they didn't
work out yet how the legal consequences of a real oneway street would be for
some edge cases (e.g. two-way tram traffic) or if it would cause too many
problems for residents if they aren't allowed to reverse while on their
street.
