The tag barrier=sliding_gate is sometimes used to map a sliding gate – a gate which opens by sliding to the side (or both sides). Sometimes these are operated by an automated mechanism, or they may be manually opened and closed.
It is more common to map sliding gates with the tag barrier=gate, however, sometimes with an addition of gate:type=sliding (or less often gate:type=rolling – see taginfo comparison).
