Hi
Even with Warin's proposed edit to the wiki guidelines, I think it is
still unclear whether its better to use the value 'private' or 'no'
for the 'access' key. (And the various transport mode keys).
For example, for tracks in national parks and closed water catchments
which have more restrictive conditions for the general public than
they do for the managing bodies, such as:'Management vehicles and
walkers only'.
The guidelines http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access#Values
'no' No access for the general public
seems to me to mean much the same as
'private' Only with permission of the owner on an individual basis
Maybe some specific examples in the wiki might help clarify this?

No!
The NSW NPSW do legally exclude the public from certain areas and
at least vehicles from certain tracks.
The NSW, WA, SA and Victorian State Forests legally exclude the
public too .. think about the car rallies held from time to time.
Even 'public roads' get closed to the public from time to time...
how else would the Bathurst Road Race be held?????
I have remove the offending statement from the wiki. I did
attempt to contact the user .. but the wiki page has no send a
message' type thiny ... hence this message.
Found the contact ... made comments on 2 changesets.
Confusion may have arisen over plain English understanding of
access=no
But the tags are
access=no
foot=yes
meaning you can access by foot but nothing else... in the OSM data base.
I have been using
motor_vehicle=no (or motorcar=no / motorcycle=no)
foot=yes (or foot=designated)
and depending on other tags
bicycle=no (or bicycle=designated if specifically signposted)

Thanks Mark. That is a good method...
I'd use motor_vehicle as that covers trucks, tractors etc.
On review I think something for the Oz wiki tagging guide lines page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Access_roads_on_public_land along the
lines
of
"Where an access road crosses public land it should not be assumed to
have or not have access restrictions. Where a sign says "Authorised
vehicles Only" or you know that access is restricted the tag
motor_vehicle=private could be used to indicate the access restriction.
Access restrictions for others (walkers, cyclists etc.) should be found
on the access wiki page (link to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access).
To help other mappers recognise the validity of the access restriction
a sourec tag can be used e.g. source:access_motor_vehicle=sign on
eastern end of road"
