I prefer to stick to the established key informal: if it is not built or signposted but developed out of common/spontaneous use, it's informal. "official" is currently used less than 80 times and would not add anything (IMHO) that informal doesn't catch > > access_no=regulation > access_no=posted > > to record the reason for the access=no.
