Often it's about what is posted on the map at the trailhead. > Official/not I cannot judge from the track.

Actually something being there does not indicate yes or no, just that you weren't told not to use it. access=yes is about a legal right, which requires looking up things that are not obvious on the ground. But as always if you don't know if access is yes or no then just don't put an access tag. When you see an information board with an official trail map and rules that say you cannot go off the official trails then you can tag the ones on the map access=yes and the rest access=no. So I think when there is evidence, this is straightforward, and when there is not evidence, you just don't add the tags. >> It seems fine to put the sign in the db, or a tag like >> >> access_no=regulation >> access_no=posted >> >> to record the reason for the access=no. > > errr > > source:access=regulation > > source:access=local sign > > would be consistent with present OSM tags. That's far better than what I suggested, thanks.
