#' Import transport networks used by a specific mode of transport
#'
#' This function is a wrapper around [oe_get()] and can be used to import a road
#' network given a `place` and a mode of transport. Check the Details for a
#' precise description of the procedures used to filter the OSM ways according
#' to each each mode of transport.
#'
#' @inheritParams oe_get
#' @param mode A character string of length one denoting the desired mode of
#' transport. Can be abbreviated. Currently `cycling` (the default), `driving`
#' and `walking` are supported.
#' @param ... Additional arguments passed to [oe_get()] such as `boundary` or
#' `force_download`.
#'
#' @return An `sf` object.
#' @export
#'
#' @details The definition of usable transport network was taken from the Python
#' packages
#' [osmnx](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gboeing/osmnx/refs/heads/main/osmnx/_overpass.py) and
#' [pyrosm](https://pyrosm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and several other
#' documents found online, i.e.
#' <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions>,
#' <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access>. See also the discussion
#' in <https://github.com/ropensci/osmextract/issues/153>.
#'
#' The `cycling` mode of transport (i.e. the default value for `mode`
#' parameter) selects the OSM ways that meet the following conditions:
#'
#' - The `highway` tag is not missing;
#' - The `highway` tag is not equal to `abandoned`, `bus_guideway`, `byway`,
#' `construction`, `corridor`, `elevator`, `fixme`, `escalator`, `gallop`,
#' `historic`, `no`, `planned`, `platform`, `proposed`, `raceway` or
#' `steps`;
#' - The `highway` tag is not equal to `motorway`, `motorway_link`,
#' `footway`, `bridleway` or `pedestrian` unless the tag `bicycle` is equal
#' to `yes`, `designated`, `permissive` or `destination` (see
#' [here](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle#Bicycle_Restrictions)
#' for more details);
#' - The `access` tag is not equal to `private` or `no` unless `bicycle` is
#' equal to `yes`, `permissive` or `designated` (see #289);
#' - The `bicycle` tag is not equal to `no`, `use_sidepath`, `private`, or
#' `restricted`;
#' - The `service` tag does not contain the string `private` (i.e.
#' `private`, `private_access` and similar);
#'
#' The `walking` mode of transport selects the OSM ways that meet the
#' following conditions:
#'
#' - The `highway` tag is not missing;
#' - The `highway` tag is not equal to `abandoned`, `bus_guideway`,
#' `byway`, `construction`, `corridor`, `elevator`, `fixme`,
#' `escalator`, `gallop`, `historic`, `no`, `planned`, `platform`, `proposed`,
#' `raceway`, `motorway` or `motorway_link`;
#' - The `highway` tag is not equal to `cycleway` unless the `foot` tag is
#' equal to `yes`;
#' - The `access` tag is not equal to `private` or `no` unless `foot` is
#' equal to `yes`, `permissive`, or `designated` (see #289);
#' - The `foot` tag is not equal to `no`, `use_sidepath`, `private`, or
#' `restricted`;
#' - The `service` tag does not contain the string `private`
#' (i.e. `private`, `private_access` and similar).
#'
#' The `driving` mode of transport selects the OSM ways that meet the
#' following conditions:
#'
#' - The `highway` tag is not missing;
#' - The `highway` tag is not equal to `abandoned`,
#' `bus_guideway`, `byway`, `construction`, `corridor`, `elevator`, `fixme`,
#' `escalator`, `gallop`, `historic`, `no`, `planned`, `platform`, `proposed`,
#' `cycleway`, `pedestrian`, `bridleway`, `path`, or `footway`;
#' - The `access` tag is not equal to `private` or `no` unless `motor_vehicle` is
#' equal to `yes`, `permissive`, or `designated` (see #289);
#' - The `service` tag does not contain the string `private` (i.e. `private`,
#' `private_access` and similar).

# According to the first document mentioned above (i.e. the OSM tags for

# WARNING: Starting from GDAL 3.10, an expression like "foo NOT IN ('bar')"
# evaluates as false, while previously it would evaluate as true. Therefore, in
# the following code, when building the -where clause, we need to be explicit
# and include possible NULL values in the expression. See also the discussion in
# #298 and the fix implemented by @rouault. See also
