If anyone knows more specifics; i.e. the precise extent of the seasonal closure or how better to tag "Closed in Winter", please update the map or reply.  In order to avoid closures on I-70 due to a recent large rockslide, drivers are attempting to use CO-82 and wind up getting stuck in the snow.  http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/DenverPost/Default.aspx (See page 2, "Oops..." article).


you can tag this with conditional access, like
vehicle:conditional=no @ winter

there's syntax for dates etc. in the wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions

the problem with seasonal=yes is that you don't know what it means, there are also winter roads only usable in the winter, eg over lakes or in wetlands. Other seasonal roads become ski routes in the winter ;-)

cheers,
Martin
