Hi Katherine.

You've added the tag foot=no, bicycle=no and horse=no. I agree with the intent of your change, but the access tags are for clear legislative access limitations.

There are no prohibitions of using this dual carriageway for horses, cycles, & pedestrians.  If the highways authority wanted to introduce an access limitation for foot & cycles, they would need to create a high quality parallel route for foot & cycles. "National Highways" do not wish to undertake this project so we have a situation where we have a highway clearly not suitable for cycling/foot but it is allowed.

I'm going to ask for some views in the talk-GB mailing list (later on) because I do agree obvious unsuitability for cycling/foot should have some way of being tagged.
