Don't all roads with access rules have specific signs to clarify the rules.
I would think that the combination

access=destination
bicycle=yes
foot=yes
horse=yes
agricultural=yes


would be enough. If you really want to denote it's because one of those
specific signs, maybe adding a "designation=reserved" would be good.
Together with the access tags, it can be determined for who it is reserved.

designation=nature_reserve would comply with the designation=reserved tag,
and it can also be completed with the access tags. I don't think "Flemish"
is needed.
