Wiki:

Transport mode restrictions

Use the access=* key to describe a general access restriction that
applies to *all* transport modes.

Where different restrictions apply to different modes of transport then
mode specific tags can be used. These modal tags each have a place in a
hierarchy in which keys become narrower in scope as they branch out from
the root.

I think a delete rule for access=yes is already in default style.
