Is access=no + motor_vehicle=yes valid?

Attempting to tag a way which is open only to motorized traffic signed with “no non-motorized traffic”(but not a motorway) in the United States I came across the reccomendation in the wiki under United_States/Tags to tag this as access=no + motor_vehicle=designated. However, searching with overpass turbo for the combination in the US, it appears that all the uses were tagging mistakes (at least all the uses I inspected were for bus stations, emergency access, etc.)

This begs the question whether this is even a valid tagging. I think some mappers may be avoiding it as it renders as a closed road in carto, and the discussion on the issue on Github suggests it may be incorrect (although this case was not discussed explicitly).
