| yes           | General public access is assumed, but does not imply an official, legally-enshrined right of way.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| no            | General public access is prohibited. Stronger interdiction than private. E.g. a fully closed road; a restricted military facility. If only specific transport modes are forbidden, for example, at a vehicle no-entry sign, a more specific restriction like vehicle=no or motor\_vehicle=no will be used over the general key access. |
| private       | General public access is not allowed. Access is granted with individual permission only. E.g. A driveway with a no trespassing or keep out sign; A company parking lot for employees only.                                                                                                                                             |
| permissive    | Open to general traffic until such time as the owner revokes the permission which they are legally allowed to do at any time in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| permit        | Open only to people who have obtained a permit granting them access.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| destination   | Only when travelling to this element area; i.e. local traffic only. This is signed, for example, as 'except for access' in the UK.                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| delivery      | Only when delivering to the element. For example motor\_vehicle=delivery on a highway=pedestrian.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| customers     | Only for customers of the element.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| designated    | A preferred or designated route for the class of traffic specified by the tag key, such as foot=designated. In general this means that there is a (explicit) sign such as pedestrians allowed, or a pedestrian icon.                                                                                                                   |
| use\_sidepath | Used to indicate that a mapped parallel way (that belongs to the same road) must be used instead. A road can legally consist of several ways, such as a single or dual carriageway with parallel tracks for cyclists, mopeds, pedestrians and/or equestrians.                                                                          |
| dismount      | Permitted for some vehicle (or animal) only if you dismount. Mostly used for bicycle, for example bicycle=dismount which indicates people are not permitted to cycle but are allowed to dismount and bring the bike.                                                                                                                   |
| agricultural  | Only for agricultural traffic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| forestry      | Only for forestry traffic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| discouraged   | A legal right of way exists (see yes) but usage is officially discouraged (e.g. HGVs on narrow but passable lanes). Only if marked by a traffic sign.                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| variable      | Value used combination with lanes to denote where access might change e.g. access:lanes=\* to denote a variable-access lane.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| unknown       | The access conditions are unknown or unclear.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
