I don't know if it's legal to park here and walk around the gate into
the park, but assume for the sake of argument that it is. How do we
tell the router to instead use the main entrance to the south?
In this case, the way in the photo can be properly tagged as a
service/driveway and /or track to help direct routers to another entrance.
I recently found this exact situation where hordes of lost park-goers coming
from the north were directed to the back gate which is permanently locked.
I was able to tag the back entrance as service/driveway because the gate is
never open and the only normal access is for the ranger - even though I
think the road is still named as Lake Road in the official county records
(which I cannot access).

I had also reported the problem to Google and interestingly enough they
corrected the problem similarly. Bing still sends southbound people to
the back entrance.
I can still see problems where there are multiple entrances, the "closed
entrance" is also a paved road but has a gate that never opens. For that
case, the non public entrances should be marked as access=private or
something similar.
I'm a bit confused as to the best way to mark an entrance - the
description of barrier=entrance doesn't match the case of an "Entrance gate"
where the gate is both a barrier and an official entrance.
