All interesting arguments but if a highway has a barrier, won't all access be treated as blocked (access=no) by _most_ routing software? I realize one can accommodate almost anything with appropriate styles and rules but how can one know in advance? I guess what I'm saying is, there is a risk that these ways will become non-routable if I put a barrier tag on them. As long as you're traveling in the correct direction, you've got nothing to fear (Where have we heard that before?)
I know this: I will never drive a motorcycle in this city, and especially not a night. You could end up dead on one of these. By the way, for those of you wondering; these are permanent devices and are built into the pavement.
