This is something a government body has put upand their signs don't indicate anything else beyond that so this is no different then recording what is on a maxheight sign, we aren't measuring it we're recording information as we see it on signs.

Okay, i got the point. I agree that this should be put into a tag/value 
pair but with the clarification that 4wd_only=yes (or whatever the tag 
will be) does *not* necessarily mean that all 4wd vehicles could pass 
this road at any time, instead it's a given restriction, similar to 
maxspeed.

Then this indeed should be supported by the rederers.
