On what map does it not display? I'm personally not in favor of using both tags. That makes it very confusing.

OK, I added a link to access wiki page.

OK, it's added.

I removed those two images. It has no effect on the suggested tagging.

Sure, I agree. That could be a next project. Let's review the D signs with the default access restrictions in mind.

To avoid repetition, perhaps it's better to refer to the access wiki page. In my view, this road_signs_in_Belgium page shouldn't try to explain everything.

I agree with you on that. No need for unnecessary tags. The wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:overtaking) states indeed that yes is a default value. I'll remove the suggested tags.
