It is no longer clear to me what is being proposed since two different situations are involved. 1. There are situations where there are signs telling a cyclist to dismount. He/she can continue on the way, pushing the bike. To tag these situations the current solution is to tag "bicycle=dismoun

The Dutch example is based on a local (municipal) ordinance which regulates whether you are allowed to walk your bicycle in this pedestrian zone. So, it is a "real" regulation (but it is not an example of a "bicycle dismount" regulation). Bicycles are not allowed at all, so a "bicycle=no" tag
