  It certainly makes pragmatic sense, but like I say, I don't want an
  edit war with people who say the offical classification MUST be
  reflected in the highway= tag.  I seriously don't see anything
  better though.  However much we tag the actual restriction, it is
  only a 3m long section of road, which isn't going to show at
  zoomlevel 13, although the whole road affected by this restriction
  is really quite dominant at that level of zoom.

  In this and other examples in Oxford, the Bus Gate (as the council
  refer to it) has no physical barrier, just a large warning sign and
  an ANPR camera.
