Car/4WD does not pass through gate w/o any restrictions

[zstadler]

This is no appropriate for Israel where may villages have an entrance gate.

For example, the entry to Almagor - http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/?s=aUhQ0SBk9d

I think we should better define gates before fixing this routing issue as some gates can't be driven through. Also in this case I think there should be a routing issue so that you'll know there's a gate there that might be closed... You can also switch to None-routing for this leg. I don't think this bug should have high priority...

The gates are well classified. A gate provides access unless it has an access restriction, such as access=no and motor_vehicle=no.

We also map the gates accordingly:

• Inaccessible gates are
• Accessible gates are

That's why I think this is a high priority issue.

Let's see what the guys at GH answer first...

@zstadler why do you think it is 'well classified' - do you have link to the wiki? I have interpreted the defaults as access=no, especially for gate

[HarelM]

One could argue that in order to prevent access you'll need to add a tag to the element restricting access otherwise there is no restriction. The wiki of both gate and access are not defining the default though.

[zstadler]

I don't see why a barrier=gate with no access tag would allow bicycle or foot access but not for cars. Unlike a cycle_barrier or a stile, there is nothing in a gate's structure that is specifically built to restrict or allow a certain type of access.
