[OSM-talk] Tagging Scheme Recommendations: highway=path, footway, trail?

What additional tag would one use to state that a particular path is not advisable for vehicular use (for instance, because it contains steps at one or more points), but doesn't have a sign forbidding vehicular use?  My impression is that tags such as bicycle=no and motorcycle=no are generally reserved for cases where there is a sign stating that restriction.

 Then the wiki is wrong.



It's not detailled enough. A path is too narrow for a 4 wheels vehicle like a car but not for a 2 wheels vehicle like a moped or a motorbike (or no wheels like a snowmobile ;-).
