Long-term closure/access restriction is a valid reason to change
classification. Lets say that section of primary road is closed making
it unusable for transit traffic and is now used only by local
residents. This is not temporary change but something for months. It
may change classification from highway=primary into highway=residential.

Access restriction and lane closure may result in change of road
classification.

I am looking for a better name - but for example [highway=footway;
proposed=yes] may not be incorrect. It is not changing that such
tagging should not be used as it makes OSM data less usable.
