That is in fact already the case. Here's the full set of tags for the relevant bit of Sidney Street:

It has access=no, but also bicycle=yes, foot=yes, and designation=pedestrian_zone. The intended meaning of "foot=yes" and "bicycle=yes" are pretty clear, but CloudMade's route finder still ignores them, and (I'm still only guessing that) this is because of "access=no", the intended meaning of which is somewhat less clear. So even if "access=no" does actually mean "no access to anybody, on foot or by transport", is it still generally acceptable to use a general tag like that and to list exceptions like "foot=yes"? Or is it just contradictory to have "access=no" and "foot=yes" on the same way? Tim
