[talk-au] Road restrictions

[Steve Bennett]

Cool, I think it makes sense to tag this kind of thing with
australian-specific tags, as you have done.

OTOH, I wonder about the sustainability of adding more tags that could
be applied to every single street in australia. Would it make more
sense to tag them as some kind of barrier (no road trains past here) -
then at least you only have to map the perimeter of a certain area. Or
a combination of both: "road trains allowed within this area, unless
marked otherwise"/"road trains not allowed within this area, unless
marked otherwise".
