 No. In a park, for example, you have a right of access by default. Or 
 the flood
 control structures around here, where it's perfectly legal to wander 
 around all
 you like, so long as you don't do it in/on a motorized vehicle. Or the 
 vast
 majority of BLM land, along with lots of land "owned" by other 
 agencies, at the
 federal level.

 I agree that access=private doesn't make intuitive sense for government 
 owned
 land. We do all own it, after all. Having said that, it's pretty silly 
 to use
 a different tag just because the land is government owned/controlled 
 when the
 message is otherwise the same.
