Barrier: lift gate

I noticed Mapy doesn’t take into consideration lift gates: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dlift_gate
When there is a lift gate inserted into OSM, Mapy will still allow a car route there, which I don’t think is right. When there is any sort of barrier inserted on the road, there should be a pop-up when you plan a car route there, warning about the type of barrier there and informing the user that car routing is not or may not be possible there due to a lift gate (for example). Or something similar.
Instead, Mapy doesn’t provide any such info.
Ideally, it would be good if Mapy rendered a liftgate icon on the map as well.
Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10155366973#map=19/46.34574/13.92279

Is there a chance you could work on that?

Hi Matic. I don't know, how navigation should usualy works in Mapy.cz on other places, where in OSM is placed "barrier: lift_gate", but I think, that the main problem in this specific spot is, that the tag Highway (in this case Track), which leads thru the gate, has no restrictions!
The gate itself has a tag, that the gate is locked, but on the Track are tags "access:yes" and all transport possibilities (mainly "motor_vehicle") are also set to YES - which is obviously mistake.
In the first place the Track which goes thru the gate should be separated in OSM and set to correct restricitons. Quickiest solution should be, if you can correct it by yourself, based on local knowledge...
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access
...but your proposal such as warning when a barrier is on navigation track or gate shown in the map are interesting and Mapy.cz should have concidered it.
ps: if you have (in foreign country) possibility to report a bug in the app or in the web map, you should do it thru it. This forum is not the best place for such reports
