Oftentimes, non-residential buildings (both office and retail) have paved areas that lead to them, usually with parking spaces along those ways. I'm reasonably sure they should be tagged highway=service, but should they use the service= tag also? I've mostly been tagging roads that go up to the building's entrances as service=driveway; roads that only go along parking spaces (i.e. they're not the main ways in and out of the building's parking area) are tagged service=parking_aisle, and others (maybe they go behind the building or something) as just highway=service with no service= tag.
Here's an example of the sort of thing I've been doing: http://osm.org/go/ZcIqAPUuQ-- , specifically the parking area in front of the Giant. Does this seem reasonable? I feel a little weird about the service=driveway part, but I also feel like the roads deserve some clarification of the type of service roads they are. What sorts of things do other people do in these circumstances? Also, as a side note, I've been tagging most such roads as access=destination. This seems reasonable to me (they're not throughways; they're privately-owned areas that the owners allow customers and employees to use), but it makes parts of the Mapnik-rendered map really blue, and I haven't seen a lot of evidence of other people doing anything similar. Any thoughts on this? -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- String literal too long (I let you have 512 characters, that's 3 more than ANSI said I should) -- Apple MPW C Compiler error message ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
