Alan,

In the western US, on small rural tracks, often there is a fence across a road with a gate in it. (That gate may not be visible on aerial photos.) The gate usually is not locked, and you gain acess by opening the gate and walking or driving through it. The rule is: If the gate was open, leave it open. If it was closed, leave it closed. I don't know if that is what you encountered or where you are mapping, but I have encountered this many times in the rural US west.

However, if there's no "back way" around the road/fence crossing,
I'd split the road way at the fence and tag the inaccessible part with "access=no".
(Or, perhaps, "access=private" if the entity who built the fence might
occasionally grant itself access.) >

applications from trying to route through it.
