I would say this is a tagging error.  When you  have a highway, it's a
line feature, but it's understood to have width on either side of the
line.  A barrier that ends in the middle of the highway will block half
the highway.   It is extremely unlikely that this exists in raelity.

Thus, the question is whether a router should  guess:

  - A) tagging error: barrier stops just short of highway
    + ignore barrier

  - B) tagging error: barrier actually continues
    + way is not routable

  - C) tagging correct: barrier literally stops at centerline of highway,
    blocking one direction
    + way is passable in one direction, based on where barrier is and
      drive-on-left or not


I vote for

  - routers should pick A

  - validators should flag this
