Thanks for the link to the list. It's a great reference, especially 
since the road signs only differ in the style they are drawn between 
Austria and Germany.

I used hazmat=no or something like that. I think it's worth an amendment 
to the access property, since it's relatively common in Austria and 
Bavaria due to the great number of springs, rivers or tunnels.

The list also helped solving my second problem, the motorvehicle=no tag. 
It seems that goods are forbidden when motorcars are unless stated 
otherwise.

thanks,
Norbert
