I'd tag that motor_vehicle=destination. If you use more general 
access=destination it is not exact, for example that prevents routing a 
horse through there.

However, the point was originally not to talk about tagging but the 
funny Garmin behaviour. If you use a non-routable line type you can 
prevent garmin from routing on them or even thinking you might be on 
them. If you need, you can use a TYP file to make the non-routable road 
look like the normal routable one.
