If you don't feel comfortable with access=yes then use the "I'm not
sure" alternatives (private/permissive).

If it's open then it's barrier=entrance (with access tags indicating
if it's impassable or locked for some users). If it's shut it's
barrier=gate.

It only gets more complicated than that if it's open for some users,
and shut for others. Then you need two separate ways with a
barrier=entrance on one and a barrier=gate on the other.
