[Talk-GB] Tagging Thornbury High Street - not quite pedestrianised

[Chris Hodges]

Thanks for everyone's input on this.

I was holding off until I'd seen the signs at the other end.  They're 
not quite the same but don't add any clarity.

It does seem surprising that we have some special access tags (HOV, 
disabled), but not access:residents, which is a common restriction in 
the UK and France at least.  For now I've used 
access:conditional=residents, which seems to be supported by the 
access:conditional wiki. access=destination would be inappropriate as 
most of the potential destinations down there are shops, and the point 
of the exercise is to ban people from driving to those (with even 
deliveries being routed round the back)
