On the semantics of access=permissive. I used to be confused too (not that I'm not anymore; it's just that now I accept the definition). "Permissive" sounds like you need a permit to go there, and in that sense I found it perfectly fitting for the Italian ZTLs (=limited traffic zone). Actually, it's more an equivalent of "tolerated"; but I wonder how many newcomers have used it incorrectly, because it is very counterintuitive at least for non-native English speakers. But, this is what we have; should we change? And if yes, how?
Permissive means that you have permission by default. Is 'permit' better-known by non-English speakers than 'permission'?
