Vehicular access may be prohibited by law, even if it's physically possible. Or it may be restricted to service vehicles supplying shops along the way (do we have an access value for that?) or at certain times of day. Even if the restrictions are not legal they may be civil: "This is mine and I only permit pedestrians." Quite a few town centres have former roads which are now pedestrian precincts. Some of which allow vehicles at certain times of day to resupply shops. The real world is messy. Life would be much simpler if we could make it conform to our tagging schemes instead of having to come up with tags that describe reality. -- Paul
