Access tags for dog & horse carriages

0

Which access tags should I use on roads with the following signs ? The dogs are pulling a carriage, not a sledge, as we typically do not have enough snow.

What is the bottom one anyway... bikesurfing?

Looks like a horse-drawn coach. Anyway, are these access signs? I.e. do they really define the legal access of this way? Or do they just indicate some local routes?

They are used by the agency that is responsible for all forests in Belgium, the full list can be found on the website of Natuur en Bos

And indeed the bottom one is a very stylized horse pulling a coach

In England and Wales, the legal restrictions on "restricted byway" are pretty similar to your sign (though @scai's point is a good one to see if yours are actually legal restrictions or just "be aware of what you might find here"). I typically tag restricted byways as something like "motor_vehicle=no;vehicle=yes; foot=yes;horse=yes;bicycle=yes".

there is actually a different sign for horses and for horses pulling a coach.

They are legal restrictions, more info (in Dutch) on the website of Natuur en bos.
