A noexit=yes tag is still a good idea to communicate to the next mapper that there really is no exit for any transportation mode. A second mapper may suspect a wall/fence/exotic barrier type/whatever being still passable by bikes or pedestrians. Also the barrier=* might still be missing, because the first mapper only cared to map highways. same goes for the access:*=* tag. It might still be missing. Mapping doesn't only come in nothing vs. perfect. As a means to communicate an intention from one mapper to the next, it simply is more clear when mapped on the node than on the way. I simply gave an example where the end of the dead-end way can not simply be deduced by its geometry. Regards, chaos
