Round my way we have lots of roads that have been blocked off to
traffic, and have short "cycle gaps" most easily seen on the cycle
layer (surprise!) e.g.
http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/?zoom=16&lat=6705665.66502&lon=-23398.725&layers=B00
. Some have removable bollards for emergency access. Some don't. You
might want to confirm which ones don't have emergency access with
emergency=no (whereas no tag would imply that it hadn't been mapped
rather than yes or no).

Not that I'm planning on tagging them, since I wouldn't be routing
ambulances with OSM anyway :-)
