I've used access=destination on numerous occasions, but that's probably 
not what you had in mind when you wrote that.

The very same (legal) issues apply to The Netherlands, with the exact 
same examples you gave.

I'm doing the bulk of my mappings in Oost-Vlaanderen, so I'd be happy to 
see more consensus about which tags to use in which practical .be 
situation, and not just for this particular issue. And I agree with 
everything you wrote. This tag seems to be mostly without value for BE & NL.

Exceptions like http://www.wegcode.be/images/verkeerstekens/D7.gif 
(highway=cycleway) used together with 
http://www.wegcode.be/images/verkeerstekens/C19.gif (foot=no) can still 
be tagged. No need for the access=designated tag.
