For the physical ability to pass a locked gate I want to suggest a separate tag 
for*locked=yes*  gates.

Something like:*bypass=*foot/bike/horse/motor_vehicle/... (where each implies 
the prior categories, because this is about physical width/height and not legal 
distinction)

It could also be along the lines of*physical_access=*....

I am unsure about using the wordaccess  
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access>  in the tag here, because its 
wiki page states clearly:

Access values describe *legal*  permissions/restrictions

Generally, in my utopian dreams, there would be*acess:legal*  
and*access:physical*. But we have to deal with the fact that exists right now.

My proposal is to find a word that describes "the ability to physically 
use/pass/access a way/object/node" concisely and possibly one-worded.*bypass*  is 
only valid for gates,
it would be desirable to have a general tagging scheme for physical access 
despite legal conditions.


Ultimately,*locked *is a physical access tag, although not refined enough.

I think this is becoming a discussion about which tags to use to refine 
the*locked=yes*  tag.

It would be wise to address the issue of a missing general physical access tag. 
But if this is over the top, i suggest to go with*bypass.*


Other points:

- I approve the idea of imposing a 2 min delay for routing on gates with 
explicit*locked=no*  tag.

- The wiki page of gate should be updated to mention the use of locked in more 
detail. Currently it is only displayed in the useful combinations section.


As I am new here on OSM, please be patient with my utopian wish to change 
everything completely.

Best regards,

Yamso
