However, that assumes that you can trust the news to be accurate, and the
distinction between "closed in winter" and "not maintained for winter
travel" is not one I expect the news media to get right. The article I saw
quoted the driver has having seen a "Not maintained for winter travel" sign

Considering the keys pointed to by Zeke, I also like winter_service=no.
There are a few US or state highways in CO which close, the tagging is

If we're going with access:conditional, it *should* be mode-of-transport
specific. It's pretty common for closed-in-winter roads to be open to
non-wheeled transport (e.g. skis and snowmachines); the other road I've

Lincoln Gap Road: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/19729533
VT 108 through Smugglers Notch:
