If this is an argument in favour of smoothness, then you would run in to exactly the same problem (just not as fine grained). If a user see's a road as being tagged as "smooth", then they'd think that they could roller blade on it, which apparently they are not allowed to. Here, we run in to a problem where suitability and permissibility are not going along with each other. With Richards suggestion you could still have. bicycle:racer=unsuitable (permitted but not practical) bicycle:hybrid=difficult (permitted but challenging) bicycle:mtb=yes (permitted, no problem) bicylcle=no Though that to me feels ugly, but at least feasable. Additionally, for now at least, a certain amount of sense has to be assumed, and that you wouldn't get some one rollerblading down a dual carriage way, during a normal day, just because a map told them it was smooth. If they did, then I think they'd be a prime candidate for a Darwin award!
