Where an obstacle is at the crossing of two ways, it should be made
clear which of the ways it is an obstacle on.  In particular, a bridge
might be an obstacle to the way passing under it (if it's a low one,
or has a narrow arch) or to the way passing over it (by being narrow
from parapet to parapet).  But this shouldn't be a problem if the
object tagged as "obstacle" is a way rather than a node.  What would
be the best way to tag a low bridge carrying a canal over a river, for
example? (I'm pretty sure there are some examples of this.)  Tag a
short section of the river as "obstacle", where it passes under the
bridge?
