There may be a sitation where 1) there is a barrier (like barrier=lift_gate)2) it is not blocking foot traffic3) but pedestrians are not allowed to pass I think that optimal tagging in this case would be barrier=lift_gate + foot=yes on barrierhighway=* + foot=no on way with barrier node See for example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Slan%C3%BD_(0486).jpg <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Slan%C3%BD_(0486).jpg> In other words: ways have access tag defined by legal situation, barriers have tagsdefined by physical obstacles. I think it would be the best way to tag and I used it so far (for example many barriers have no legal blockade for cyclists but are made in way that makes dismounting and crossing on foot necessary)/
