Some people might argue for "dress=dismount".

It's even more interesting to consider dogs. Bicycles and horses can
both be considered as means of transportation. Depending on cultural
differences dogs could be considered as pet, food or object, but
definitely not as means of transportation. Then it will become clear,
that in OSM two things are mixed: $entity=no can refer to a ban of
driving it, if $entity is a means of transportation or it can refer to a
ban of it as object, if $entity is not a means of transportation. We now
have to think of a most general way to tag, how to ban an entity as
object if it can be considered as means of transportation.

Yours,
Stefan

Indeed this is what I meant. Thanks for pointing out this ambiguity!

I do not fully understand your example of the bridge either. Are there
any other roads on the bridge or is it just a pedestrian bridge. If
there are other roads: are bicycles explicitly banned from using the
road or is it just that the drivers of some other vehicle do not like
them to use the road?

But in order to become on topic again: The reason why I wrote this post
was to point out, that this is something, a lot of people have very
strong feelings about and therefore such tags would lead to edit wars in
the database.

Yours,
Stefan

Every time I see such a sign, I get very angry about the fucking moron,
who was responsible for this bullshit. Of course, it is in no way
acceptable to let people dismount their bikes. Bicycles are not toys,
they are vehicles of their own right.

That's way I also don't think it is acceptable for a routing service to
suggest a route for a bicycle where one can't use it the way it is
supposed to be.

Yours,
Stefan
