6. Just mark road as private if its appropriate, simply don't care what the map renderer will do with the tag. But remember that the access tag has more values than just "yes" and "private". For example streets within a gated neighborhood could be marked with access=permissive or access=destination.
The OSM project is mainly about collecting and distributing free geographic data. This geographic data can in turn be used to create arbitrary maps and overlay on top of them. But this is not OSM's main goal, so it is left for others (like MapBox). There is no reason to be disappointed about OSM.

The tag takes the form access=* for all transport modes or foot=* / bicycle=* / motor_vehicle=* etc. for specific modes of transport, where *can be any of the following:
Use the access=* key to describe a general access restriction that applies to alltransport modes. In theory, adding access=yes to highway=footway could be read as changing default restrictions (which usually are foot=yes and vehicle=no for highway=footway) to yes, highway=footway + access=yesmeans "road, which is open for all pedestrians and vehicl...
Tags of "access" group can be used for nodes, ways and areas. There are different priorities in OSM-community, where to put access tag: to area (usually it is a square, which have some specific conditions of access), to line (usually it is roads inside square) or to node (usually it is gate in barrier, which surrounds square, where there is a possi...
Access can be tagged on facilities, typically including 1. building entrances– which can be used to model that different entrances are for different groups of users, 2. buildingsthemselves, 3. amenities – often used on amenity=parking with restrictions to private (e.g. company employees only) or customers(people visiting a shop), 4. leisure entitie...
Car parking without public access
Parking is mapped with amenity=parking. But there are both parking usable by anyone and ones where only some very narrow group can use them. It is a good idea to mark restricted parking as a restricted. Add access=privatetag to mark it as a parking with heavily restricted access, with public not allowed to use it. There are sometimes more complex rules, for example adding access=customersmeans that only customers may use the parking. Some parking rules are more complex – limited stay duration...
Road with restricted access
There are some roads with restricted access – roads in factory complexes, on Government sites or driveways with clear out of bounds signage or barriers. To mark road as as restricted to only private access, add access=private. Note that it notes access, not ownership. Many privately owned roads are freely accessible for the public without prior permission- in such case access=private would be wrong and it may be access=permissive if the owner can revoke this permission at their own discretion...
Road where residents, pedestrians and cyclists are allowed
It is possible to mark road as accessible for some specific types of traffic. For example a road where only local residents may drive vehicles, but cyclists are still allowed. To tag this one may use following combination of access tags: 1. vehicle=private– access for vehicles in general is not allowed, but some narrow range may still use it 2. bicycle=yes– cyclists may use it
In some regions, at least for some modes of transport there is a complete mismatch between what is officially legal access and what is actually treated seriously. Currently OSM has no known good method to tag this (bicycle=no bicycle:de_facto=yes?). Currently some mappers put actually enforced status into access tags, rather than what is legal.
General values Specific modes of transport : use a separate key for the mode instead of the general access=* Specific groups of users Specific requirements: use a separate key for the requirement
