    Another issue is how we tag "gateway" weight restrictions. These apply

    They're typically used in towns and villages that have been by-passed,

    accessed the town via a legitimate route, can then leave it via
    whichever is most convenient.


Surely by updating every highway's tags within the are demarcated by the gateways? The same as is done for speed limits, etc... (That's how I'd do it.)

But that isn't how it is. Inside the gateways, there are no restrictions. It's just that you can't get there through the gateways.

And then we have interesting situations like this where, if anything, two hgv=no gateways back onto each other: https://goo.gl/maps/dRLTKeEH1RD2

Yes, the effect there is to effectively cut the road in half as far as HGVs are concerned. They can enter the road from either end, and no part of the road has a restriction. But, whichever end they enter from, they have to return the same way and can't pass the gateway in the middle.
