Thinking a bit more, the block effectively is creating a width
restriction so maybe map the paths between them along with any signed
access restrictions and add a width tag to indicate how wide the gap
is?

Am thinking of signed restrictions as many bollarded cycleways have a
no motor vehicle restriction to prohibit motorcycles that would
otherwise be able to path through the gaps.
