I am assuming that there is a gate here and there is no short segment where 


motor vehicles are forbidden - though weirder thing happened and maybe there is a sign 


meters before gate from each side "motor vehicles forbidden".





I would consider it as a tagging for renderer, and it would be preferable to avoid it (tagging

access on gate should be sufficient). On the other hand it is one of the least harmful ones

so I would it phrase it "it is not necessary to do that" rather "it is harmful, stop immediately,

I reverted your edits".
