The challenge with specifying months is the "wet"/"dry" season is it is not always fixed. i.e. Lakefield National Park is not expected to open to June this year, and other roads in the area further north are closed till July. (Some didn't even open at all last year, but that was more to do with damage from the wet season not being repaired and COVID-19 complicating things).
All that I can see we achieving, is tagging roads to "seasonal=dry_season" or "seasonal=yes" and leave the day to day status up to the router. (potentially including a reference to where the day to day status can be drawn from would be useful, if the licences allow us to refer to them). We of course require a source to determine the seasonal status from, so would either need a survey or an appropriately licenced data set to draw from. (Can't get that from aerial images, and not many Mapillary images in the area to spot signs if they exist).

Thanks, fellas! It's not an utterly stupid idea then!

If a road has definitive closure dates we might be able to utilise opening_hours. I tried to start something similar on Victorian Alps seasonal road closures, for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/105842220. However these closures are usually described something like "closed to vehicles from Queens Birthday weekend to Cup Weekend" and are proving difficult to describe in OSM tag format without having to upload new dates each year.
I've been mapping Surf Life Saving clubs with:
opening_hours=Sep-Apr Sa-Su 08:00-17:00, which seems to work?
Would just opening_hours=May-Nov work?
I know a lot of the roads in Cape York Peninsula are only open during the "dry" season, but not sue how they're tagged, if they are at all?
Thanks
