how to OSM tag an impassable “official” route?

Hi,

EV1 east of the Portuguese border (west of Lepe) devolves into a sandy, muddy mess before disappearing into a thicket of bushes and fallen trees. It appears to have been abandoned for years. 

I added a barrier = log tag where the trail finally becomes impassable. Will this be enough to prevent routing? Even though it’s a “Eurovelo” route, nobody should be sent down this path 🫤

Also: I looked at help.openstreetmap.org for appropriate tags for deep sand and it seems there’s no consensus. What do you advise Richard?

“Off route” audible warning in app?

Richard, I thought the app had an audible bell or something when I go off the route. I have gone off route several times and only seen the “Ignore / reroute” onscreen prompt — no audible warning. Is my memory faulty?

I am using spoken directions. iPhone app 1.2 on iOS 17.3
