That's just a gate. Here we're talking (I believe) about a road that has been permanently cut in half. Speaking for myself: 1) If there's a road with a gate you can drive through, just put barrier=gate on the node. 2) If there's a road with a gate that you can walk through, split the road, make a section of highway=footway, and place a barrier=gate on that way. 3) If there's a fence and no way to get through, completely split the road, and put a barrier=fence on a separate way that passes through the gap.
