I'd say that "clearance" has way too many meanings to different
people. A tag called that could also make sense on a road with
4wd_only=yes, having it means the minimum height your vehicle's
underbody need to be above the ground.
Personally, I think that maxheight being placed on the restricted ways
makes the most sense. Doing that means you can tag the facts that each
of the two halves of a dual carriageway have different limits, and
also tag the maximum height of vehicles going over the bridge.
