I do not understand what you intend with "equal opportunities", the
possible transport modes are infinite, so we should focus on the common
transport modes IMHO. This does not imply we should ignore the others, but
we must not invent tags for hypothetical transport modes unless they are
needed somewhere. At this point, the specific case should be discussed.

traffic signs are per country, with ~200 countries this will become quite
big. It certainly is doable for standardized signs, but many jurisdictions
allow for free form signs (text), so this can never become "complete". See
6.), lets discuss and invent new tags when needed.
I've suffered myself from unclear textual traffic signs, at the via Appia
Antica in Rome (ancient road with paving that doesn't make it generally
useful as a shortcut), vehicular traffic is generally excluded (in
theory/by signage), but there's a textual exception: "except local traffic"
(it:eccetto traffico locale). I've asked on the Italian mailing list and
checked in the traffic law, but the term doesn't seem to be defined. A
websearch only found other people with the same problem of not
understanding the meaning. Here's an official example of the police
ordering such an exception for a day (but there are also permanent signs):
https://www.comune.roma.it/web-resources/cms/documents/disciplina_bianchi.pdf
(you can see that they first added "except residents" and then changed it
to "local traffic").

can you give a real world example where it would be needed? Is there a
traffic sign for a multi-tracked motor vehicle somewhere that is different
from a motorcar icon / where there are specific distinct signs for both?

I am not sure speed pedelecs are a subclass of moped. In some countries at
least, mopeds are defined through the engine displacement (50ccm), this
obviously can not apply to an electric motor.

IMHO this is a case for "do not map your local legislation", IMHO it means
your legislation says that mofas with the combustion motor turned off are
considered bicycles. The mofa driver must know this rule and can interpret
the bicycle restrictions in this case.

mofa:electric has the same comment then moped:electric: I'd rather use a
new specific key for both. Something like "pedelec" and "speed_pedelec".
It's probably only a question of time when the legislators will start to
cater specifically for this kind of vehicle (own symbols etc.). We're
supposedly in a transition phase where things have not settled yet. It
seems also to be better according to your list (points 1-4).
