A painted line that has the legal status of "do not cross" is a
perfectly fine reason to have a separate way.

it doesn’t apply to many people though, for example pedestrians or emergency

I have seen emergency vehicle cross physical barriers.

So by extension physical barriers should not be mapped. Which would be 
ridiculous.

The definition for a separate highway way is that it implies a separate 
carriageway. We’ve set it like this. IMHO it can hardly put into discussion at 
this point. If you want to map by a different definition, safest would be to 
use a different key.

The definition of 'separation' relies on the local definition?

If there is a need to map barriers that provide emergency use .. then perhaps 
OSM should tag that with a different key.

If there is a requirement to distinguish between barriers of (leagl) paint and 
those of some height .. use the height key for those of some height.
The tag already exists and would provide emergency vehicles with information - 
a highway patrol vehicle may not cross something with height=.2 but a police 
4WD rescue vehicle could.
