Thanks! It's working fine! :-)

To be honest, the option's name makes me think of linking POI address
information to ways or something similar, not of creating restricted
way snippets next to barrier nodes.
Maybe something like "create-restricted-ways-for-barriers" (shorter?
;) ) would be more obvious.

Anyways, thanks for this cool feature!
