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

Thornbury High Street was closed to motor vehicles last year, except 
residents and blue badge holder (there's disabled parking in the closed 
bit). At the time another local mapper changed it to highway=pedestrian, 
which seems reasonable.  I've just added bicycles=yes based on the signs 
that allowed me to ride along it today, and access:disabled=destination 
(it could arguably be =yes; the signs aren't explicit).

But how do I add the residents' access?

The wiki suggests "vehicle=private"  for the residents' case, implying 
there's no clearer tag - but that would seem to imply a private road, 
which it isn't: 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access#Road_where_residents.2C_pedestrians_and_cyclists_are_allowed.


I think the whole thing is under an experimental traffic order at the 
moment, but the council are looking to make it permanent, even 
post-COVID (and it seems to work)
