The city of Amsterdam is very good at this. One-way streets very often 
have no signs at the side where you are allowed to enter but have a sign 
"closed for motorized traffic with more than two wheels" on the other 
side.

Effectively it is not a one-way street because cars are still allowed to 
turn around and you can drive in reverse (not allowed in a one-way 
street).

How would you put this as a restriction in OSM? motorcar:backward=no or 
something?
