How to tag: Removable Guardrails on Wheels

General talk
1

Got this on hand, motorway temporary carriageway crossovers which are closed by two-sided guardrails on retractable wheels when there’s no emergency or roadworks on the relevant section.

From above these crossovers look like this, the ways tagged as access=no… no need for routers to be misled. Usually when in use the maxspeed is 40kmh.

A tag for the barrier like removable=yes could not be found, a few entries exist for barrier=removable, but then where to put the guardrail.

Tag suggestions welcome, or another case of not mapping the function ie. JII (Just ignore it).

One option is to handle it like bollard=removable and tag it guardrail=removable.

The other option is to add removable=yes which has 224 uses so far according to taginfo.

Puzzling, when I searched for removable as tag got zero. The guardrail=removable is also an option. The JOSM edit set sits on my drive waiting for the DIRFT decision moment. I’ll sleeps on it.
Thx

edit: since guard_rail= was already taken to qualify it’s a double, went for the removable=yes (not removeable I somehow searched for giving that null)
