It's not just about access For routing (or manually planning a getaway) you want to know if you will be slowed down by having to open a shut gate (very slow in a car because you have to stop twice) or it is locked and you need to have a key (or break/pick the lock).
I forgot about the barrier-entrance, I thought this was for a gap in a fence though. I think some people map open gates and so it's good to specify to avoid confusion.
