Here in Italy we have plenty of bicycle barriers or chicanes

more than 2 inverted-U-shaped bars to make life even more difficult.

Should I use "width" or "est_width" which normally indicates the width
of a way?
If I would see a tag "width" (or est-width) at an object called
"barrier", I would assume
- in the first line: It is the width of the barrier object itself.
- on a second thought: It may be the total width of the opening left in
the barrier.
But definitely not
the maximum width of the normal-length bicycle that I presume would
pass the chicane.
At least there should be a hint, that the tag belongs to bycicles.
The use of this tag won't be restricted on bicycle-only ways - and
'foot' users will have another "normal-length" - and therefor another
"maximum width that's presumed to pass" ...
