[OSM-talk] Tagging bridleways

I've come across a problematic way near me: It is a reasonably wide 
road, but the signs at each end say it is a bridleway.  It has a gate 
across the east end end so you can't drive along it from the east, but you 
can drive along it from the west end.  The west end has no restrictions 
other than a sign saying "No Though Road".  There are a couple of 
buildings down there, so someone might have legitimate reason for driving 
along it even though they can't get out at the other end.

So I'm a bit unsure how to tag it - any suggestions?  Thoughts that spring 
to mind are either "highway=bridleway, motorcar=yes" or 
"highway=unclassified".  Presumably with a "highway=gate, motorcar=no" 
node on the gated end, or maybe "highway=gate, horse=yes, foot=yes".
