What about jurisdictions like New Jersey, which have this law:

New Jersey 39:4-66.2 "Except for emergency vehicles and motor vehicles
being operated at the direction of a law enforcement officer, no
person shall drive a motor vehicle on public property, except public
roads or highways, or private property, with or without the permission
of the owner, for the purpose of avoiding a traffic control signal or
sign."

Would such private ways, which could be used to avoid a stop sign, be
access=permissive, motor_vehicle=destination?  I don't know.  I
thought access=destination was only to be used for rights of way.  And
I think if I were coding a router I'd avoid using an access=permissive
as a through street anyway.  But maybe that's my
learned-to-drive-in-New-Jersey bias.
