No. In such cases, only the "barrier" tag is important. No additional
tag required.
A noexit=yes tag is still a good idea to communicate to the next
mapper that there really is no exit for any transportation mode.
A second mapper may suspect a wall/fence/exotic barrier type/whatever
being still passable by bikes or pedestrians.
What about access=no instead of noexit=yes? This would be more accurate
and can't be misunderstood so easily. As the discussion showed, some
mappers used noexit=yes to tag deadends which allow pedestrians to pass
at the end. access=no is clearer in this aspect and can cover several
cases (only pedestrians can pass, only bicycles, ...).
Also the barrier=* might still be missing, because the first mapper
only cared to map highways.
same goes for the access:*=* tag. It might still be missing. Mapping
doesn't only come in nothing vs. perfect.
I don't understand your point. If the right tags (barrier and access)
are missing, we should add noexit=yes?
What about cleaning up and add the accurate tags (barrier and access)?
noexit=yes is for situations where a way ends in the current data to
communicate to the other mappers: "There is NO way of traveling further".
It is _not_ for places, where a highway continues in the data, but where
there are access-restrictions!
As a means to communicate an intention from one mapper to the next, it
simply is more clear when mapped on the node than on the way.
I simply gave an example where the end of the dead-end way can not
simply be deduced by its geometry.
I'm totally with you on the first point. Nodes are much clearer for this
tag, because the information, that a street ends for all transportation
modes is a feature of an end of a street and _not_ a feature of the
whole street (think of streets with multiple ends).
But I think in your example noexit=yes should not be used. As stated
above, barrier=* and access=* are much clearer and fit the situation
better. Additionally, noexit won't be recognized by a router.
noexit _only_ makes sense at endnodes of ways.
An example where the tagging of noexit on ways is not sufficient is a
T-shaped deadend, where the crossbar is one OSM-way. At one end
pedestrians can pass, at the other end not.
