Perhaps the speed limit tagging could help? I guess it is normally fine to cross in a 30mph limit, but not in a 60mph limit without a dedicated crossing. There are proposals for tagging the crossings. It is interesting that the lane proposal here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Lane doesn't have anything about whether the road is safe to cross or barriers in the middle...
