I am particularly interested in tagging cycling routes, including the
national long-distance cycling network Bicitalia in Italy.
In Italy cycle paths are frequently de facto blocked by chicane-type
bicycle barriers.
So my tagging is typically a node with
barrier=cycle_barrier
foot=yes
bicycle=dismount
When I am sure that a normal wheelchair can pass I would add
wheelchair=yes.
In many cases I am sure that even a small bicycle trailer would not
pass, and I would like to mark this, but there is no established way
of doing it. In the wiki, it's mentioned as an open issue
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dcycle_barrier)
Taginfo shows 8 uses of bicycle:trailer - this is certainly not a
widespread use.
Should I simply systematically use bicycle:trailer=no and hope that
others follow? Or formulate a proposal and ask for votes? Any other ideas?

In many cases (as shown on the web page) cycle barriers are not designed
to make the rider dismount, just slow down. The bicycle=dismount should
be used when there is an actual requirement to get off, such as a sign
saying so or some steps.
