This was discussed on the wiki 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:barrier%3Dgate with the suggestion 
of using a status tag. And was also discussed (9 years ago?!) 
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2010-May/thread.html



Tagging things as access=private does impact routing a lot, so I’d evaluate 
that use carefully.

If a gate opens automatically I would say it's an access=yes regardless of how 
the way is tagged.

Subject: [Talk-GB] Gates open/closed by default

I'd like to distinguish between two kinds of gate on private roads:

- those where the gate is closed by default (eg automatic closing)
- those where the gate is open by default (the gate exists, but is
rarely if ever closed)

Currently I'm marking both as barrier=gate & access=private, but I
can't see an obvoius way to mark the open/closed by default aspect.
One thought was to use access=permissive on those that are open (with
the highway still access=private).

Any suggestions?

Stephen
PS, I do want to mark the gate on the map even if it is always open
