Unfortunately, this response is still a little unclear. But I would
read that "generally not an issue" here means "excluded". Please let
me know if you disagree (in which case, you in fact aren't allowed to
*walk* through a "Local Traffic Only" sign, and access=destination is
the correct tag to use).

So, if everyone agrees that response means bicycles/pedestrians are
excluded, then from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access we
could use:

vehicle=destination (which - perhaps wrongly - includes bicycles), or
motor_vehicle=destination (which - perhaps wrongly - excludes a horse
and carriage).

motor_vehicle=destination seems best to me.

I'd propose, for tags in Queensland (and possibly elsewhere in AU):

1) a bulk change of access=destination to motor_vehicle=destination +
FIXME="does access=destination really apply to bicycles/pedestrians
here?"
2) an update to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines
recommending the use of motor_vehicle=destination +
motor_vehicle:source="Local Traffic Only sign" in these cases.

I propose a bulk update because a) I can't think of any other reason
why access=destination would be applied to ways in Queensland, other
than due to the observance of "Local Traffic Only" sign, and b) this
reportedly adversely affects foot routing, so it should be fixed.

I don't think this is important, but this could be specified using
motor_vehicle:regulatory=no (or inferred from
motor_vehicle:source="Local Traffic Only sign")

Thoughts?
