Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - parking=street_side

In this case you can simply use "parking:lane:right = parallel". Since
it is a simple parking lane, it has nothing to do with street_side as
suggested in the proposal.

(The question is rather how to tag the bike lane - a suggestion is for
example is

Perhaps I could have better phrased that by stating that both approaches
are in common use, and from the perspective of our proposal both
approaches should work.

Personally, I agree.

In the example graphics we do focus on the separately drawn method where
the explicitly mapped method is discussed.

I'm afraid there is no consensus on how to map features along a street
exactly. Similar to how some mappers glue landuse=relational (etc.) to
the street and some use the boundary of the combined plots of the block.

Both approaches are valid; the latter is more suitable where highly
accurate boundary data is freely available along with high resolution
satellite imagery (e.g., the Netherlands) and mappers.

Personally, extending the parking area over the carriage way feels like
mapping for the router, in that I would be drawing a parking area where
there is none just to reach the highway-line in the middle of the street.

You are right about mapping the spaces of course; I do so when possible.

Another notion I had was that renderers could just use capacity=* as a
measure of how visible a parking amenity should be, but that would
require knowing the capacity, which is not always plausible (and it
could lure mappers into tagging a capacity value they deem suitable for
rendering reasons). Of course, using capacity=* as well as parking=* can
be useful to highlight huge parking facilities at an earlier zoom-level
(I think Carto uses only the area size at the moment to do this).

All in all simply adding this sub-tag value seems the clearer option.

Do you have an example picture/mapillary or similar of such a street?
You call this case yourself "parking lane" and the way you describe it,
it sounds like a typical case for parking:lane:* =
parallel/diagonal/perpendicular, but not for
parking:lane:*/parking=street_side. "street_side" is intended for cases
where the parking spaces are structurally (especially structured by
curbs) located on one side of the carriageway. (That means, if -
hypothetically - no vehicles were parked there, you could still not
drive there because curb extensions or street furniture would block a
continuous drive.)

A cycleway located behind this parking area is no longer part of the
roadway and would therefore not be "lane" but "track". But maybe I
misinterpreted the case you meant?

That's the irrevocable plan, then all is shaped. 

There can be a considerable amount of time between the approval of a
"bestemmingsplan" and its actual implementation in the case of certain
properties. When a plan is changed (a political decision) this gives
rise to claims for damages, and official waivers for the current status
(that may only apply to the current residents for example). There are
lots of ways in which the reality can legally diverge from the
"bestemmingsplan". 

As OSM prefers the reality to the theory, a zoning plan can only be an
indication. It will however often be in line with reality.___

For me,  the value "parking_space" what key, single space problem must
be fixed first to say something about "street_side". As it comes to a 
vote.



Could you elaborate?



amenity=parking_space can be used as usual within amenity=parking. This
of course also works with amenity=parking/parking=street_side:



https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/849745989



Our proposal doesn't affect the documented use of amenity=parking_space;

Reading parts over the years about parking.
A lot of people do no see amenity=parking as a good tag for street side 
parking.

Mainly prompted by wiki (image) en carto, the visualisation of P.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parking street side parking is the only 
method in given on this page.
The main tag covering most conventional car parks, coach parks etc. Many 
additional tags are listed on this page.

We will always have that opposition.
Also a question for me, must we split the tagging there, when we still can.
amenity is mostly with a sign 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/8/80/NLE04.gif/60px-NLE04.gif


amenity=parking_space can only be tagged on a amenity=parking?
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11650954#map=19/53.21448/5.80418
Why is this a relation and not only polygon tagging. (That is a other 
discussion, but rubs against it)


If some, we, not use amenity=parking, how to tag the parking_space as a 
value?


There spots, where people park in the verge, on the grass, or other surface 
grass_paver, what is permitted. In or outside the residential area. ( 
"bebouwde kom")
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/b/bc/NLE01.gif/60px-NLE01.gif 
have not a effect on the verge, the EU rule is no_parking on the 
carriageway. The operating force of a traffic sign may not be expanded.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Nederlands_verkeersbord_B1.svg/60px-Nederlands_verkeersbord_B1.svg.png. 
Outside the residential area "bebouwde kom" it is prohibited to park on the 
carriageway, but not on the verge.


How do we do that with parking, amenity=parking?

Also the structure of the area:highway methodology, which needs to be 
further developed in detail.
All landuse what is used for legally public roads, laid down in a zoning 
plan by the Government "bestemmingsplan" should be called landuse=highway, 
inside this polygon the objects are area:highway

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/area:highway
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/area_highway/mapping_guidelines

There is area:highway=traffic_island https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Znt
there should be area:highway=verge, the busbay is also not well documented.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shoulder the polygon equivalent is 
area:highway=shoulder.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:verge the polygon equivalent is 
area:highway=verge (verge:access:motorcar=no when parking on the verge is 
expressly prohibited.)


But there is this used area:highway=parking_space, and not for only one 
space. What a space should be.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/4/42/MarekXjunctionExampleWithTagging.jpg

area:highway is a used key.
All these parking area, should get a tag area:highway, but which? Or both 
amenity=parking. Or is amenity parking only for lots.
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Zns ["area:highway"="parking_space"] or is it 
area:highway=service service=parking_space if it is one space, with multiple 
not drawn in space, service=parking.


That is why I wrote.

I will clarify the relation of our proposal to area:highway, thanks for
pointing it out.

In brief, the two tagging methods coexist and complement each other. Our
proposal focuses on the parking-amenity (and thus amenity=parking)
aspect of these street-side parking areas.

Anyone mapping with area:highway can of course use
amenity=parking|parking=street_side, and either:

* include the parking areas within a area:highway=residential or similar;
* use area:highway=service;
* or not include them within the highway area and leave them as-is.

What the right approach is, is probably beyond the scope of our
proposal, and should be discussed within the scope of the area:highway
proposals instead.

I think it suffices to say that amenity=parking|parking=street_side
complements area:highway mapping if applied, but doesn't require it.

By that line of reasoning tagging highways anything other than
highway=motorway is tagging for the renderer.

I understand your concern, but no, it is not our opinion that these car
parking areas are unimportant (we wouldn't map them if we thought so).

This proposal is not about declaring one type of parking more important
than the other. It does standardise a new parking=* and parking:lane=*
value for a distinct, commonly mapped, and ubiquitous type of parking area.

Because of the way these features are present on the ground, it makes
sense for a renderer to consider a different rendering approach than
they would for a parking garage of parking lot. And yes, for a general
purpose map, that may involve de-emphasizing them.

In the Netherlands we've had a case where a misguided mapper imported
this type of street-side parking area in one city (the import was not
properly discussed and documented and has since been reverted). They
used amentity=parking_space on those areas instead of amenity=parking
(even though most contained at least two parking spaces), because they
didn't like the way amenity=parking rendered on Carto with hundreds of
parking areas mapped.

That is tagging for the renderer. We want to prevent that.

By introducing a relevant sub-tag value renderers and routers may act
on, we prevent tagging for the renderer, and encourage the use of a
semantically correct tag-value. A collatoral effect is that the existing
parking=* values will become less abused (e.g., surface and layby) for
street-side parking. Mappers who want to map street-side parking, can do
so knowing that any rendering issues can be dealt with by any renderer
on the base of the correct sub-tag value.

Whether renderers will act on this or not is of course a stylistic
choice not part of this proposal, but we do offer some suggestions
(under 'Rendering').

Of course, I can fully imagine some types of map or overlay that
actively highlight street-side parking! For example some sort of
'parking-mode' on a router's screen when you are nearing your
destination. Similarly, some users may prefer street-side parking over
parking garages (camper/RV owners perhaps), and instruct their router to
filter on those.

Our proposal facilitates this: renderers can render street-side parking
however they wish, because the tag tells them it is street-side parking.

Ah, so you want to tag for the renderer.  Firstly, the renderer could
choose not to show small car parks below a certain zoom level,
which would prevent clutter automatically and is preferable to
mappers tagging "In MY opinion, this car park is unimportant."

Street-side parking usually isn't of interest until you

If you're not in the area but expect to go there and are looking
for parking, ALL parking areas are of potential interest.

And people park in them.  Which kind of defeats any argument that
they are of lesser importance.  Often they are free, although of
limited duration, which can make them preferable.  Often they
are nearer to a POI or group of POIs than the larger car parks.
Often such parking areas are full when large car parks are not.

So tagging for the renderer because, in your opinion, these car parking
areas are unimportant.

Yes.  That's what the data purist objected to.  But for the average human

You may object to it somehow being tagging for the renderer (it isn't)
but it is relying on one error in representation hiding a different
error in representation.  The renderer doesn't show the true width
of the carriageway - if it did then mapping the actual extent of
the parking area would result in it abutting the carriageway.
However, a different error in representation results in the
carriageway being rendered over the parking area.

The result that is rendered better represents reality on the
ground and what an ordinary user expects to see.  But you
seem to object to maps that match what a human user would
expect to see.

Yes there is.  It's a very wide, very short service road connecting the
carriageway to the parking area.  You're trying to pretend it isn't there
and that there is a void between the two.

It is absolutely true data.  It is the same surface as the carriageway and
the parking area with only lane markings to delineate it.  It looks rather
ugly, not nice.  But it is absolutely true.  Are you saying there is no way
to drive from the carriageway to the parking area?  If not, there is
something
connecting the two.  That connection is a very wide, very short service
road.  It is you who is insisting on false data by pretending there is no
road surface between carriageway and parking area.

Let's tag everything so that NOTHING renders and the user has to use the
query tool to find out what is there.  Apart from the fact that no human
map user is going to see any clue about the parking entrance direction,
now will the human user know that the entrance extends the whole length
of the parking area.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - parking=street_side

2020-10-24 Thread Allroads

The two methods:

1. Tagging on the way line. When a road, highway=*
2. Tagging a polygon. When a road, area:highway=*

Will always be used next to each other. We have to take that into account.

New mappers, see a parking plot/space and want to draw that in, that is 
logical behaviour. It is obvious for them to draw a polygon. And want them 
to see on a map.
It is not obvious for them to tag parking:lane on a highway=*, the method 
for wayline parking.  Originated with the first development of 
Openstreetmap, then the system evolved, area:highway was developed later.
We must give them the opportunity to do so, polygon mapping. Topographical 
mapping.


Also for on the lane parking, we need the polygon to draw in, because space 
lines are painted on the road or different paving, indicating parking 
spaces, parking traffic signs refer to it.


In the mind of general people there is no difference on the carriageway or 
beside, for them it is both street side parking. street_side is also on the 
lane parking. It is more a general term. (I think, maybe more for not native 
UK people).
Do not make a difference between carriageway (painted, surfaced) and beside 
parking by choosing street_side  value as a tag for one (beside).


Polygon: Where the transportation modes can walk/ride/drive on a polygon, we 
tag area:highway=* ,  that is a base tag.


On a way, highway=* we have residential and service and 
service=parking_aisle, this is on a amenity=parking.


For a polygon on lane and beside we have area:highway=service, even when you 
draw in a amenity parking, you have area:highway, there the lane is 
area:highway=service service=parking_aisle, parking spaces are a kind of 
service.


The plot/space on a amenity=parking, 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking_space , there is 
no much visual difference, when there is a parking_space on a amenity and or 
on the (marked parking) carriageway or beside parking.


The value should/could also be used. There everywhere, places for disabled 
parking and electric parkin a spaces


On the lane road with no marking, there is only  the (1.) wayline tagging, 
parking:lane possible,


A carriageway, can have,
wayline tagging highway=residential with parking:lane=no_parking,
polygon highway tagging area:highway=residential, the lane to 
walk/ride/drive
polygon parking tagging area:highway=service service=parking 
parking=street_side on lane and beside parking:condition=free

In this example there is a no_parking traffic_sign on both side of the road,
EU rules, determine that such traffic_sign, no_parking  only prohibited 
parking on the lane, and not the marked parking spaces or the verge. So w 
must have the opportunity to tag it properly, this is a example both methods 
of tagging are needed (line polygon).


Use area:highway for polygon and parking!

The combination area:highway=service and service=parking, should be enough 
indication for the render to not set a P. (Carto) Even when there is a 
amenity=parking is set. (wrongly?)
parking= street_side could be used there is no conflict parking=* on amenity 
with parking 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking#Additional_Tags


The only point for me is, can also the value "parking_space" be used, with 
what key? area:highway=service service=parking parking=parking_space(?) (Do 
we need street_side?) Or is it parking:street_side=parallel
People, want to draw in a single space. We have to take that into account. 
But others draw in several spaces as a one object, parking_space, this is 
not correct.
It must be clear that there is a single spot. Somewhere the value 
"parking_space" must fit in.


parking_space=disabled, this must not be different then on a 
amenity=parking, if, that is confusing for a lot of people ( taggers), now 
with electric cars there lots op spaces where only they can park, 
traffic_sign prohibition next to the space, single space are more drawn in 
the future. Prohibited access on the space.
Netherlands Government, are going to draw in all these spaces, each space 
get a ref, for linked data, the cost of electric charging, and more.
Amenity parking and carriageway parking, space tagging must be with the same 
tags. If they look the same and the use is the same.


So, we must prepared for more detailed mapping.

This kind of tagging is almost impossible on a wayline, all these way cuts, 
visualisation and control the data. A polygon visualisation is more clear.


For me,  the value "parking_space" what key, single space problem must be 
fixed first to say something about "street_side". As it comes to a vote.

Agreed.

There may be a handful of cases where a router won't route you to a spot
on the road right next to an explicitly mapped parking=street_side area
mapped the way shown in our proposal, but I don't think that is a very
common use case; you normally wouldn't target a specific street-side
parking area.

If I want to visit a friend or a small shop in an area without dedicated
parking lost/garages, I would look around on the map to orient myself,
and probably set the destination to the address I am going, or somewhere
along a road from whereon I would go look for a free spot using the map
to show me streets where I can park.

With a large parking garage you definitely would select that as the
destination if you are using a router, but that is a different kind of
beast.

Exactly. Our proposal should benefit other types of amenity=parking such
as parking=surface (etc.) by giving routers and renderers a way to
ignore and de-emphasize, respectively, street-side parking.

It also benefits data consumers (including routers) when asking for a
list of parking facilities nearby: street-side parking can be properly
classified and described as such, and potentially shown lower in the
list below any public parking lots/garages.

Thanks for the feedback; we'll clarify that point. From the proposal:

This is mainly about preventing the visual clutter of blue P's that are
the result of tagging amenity=parking without any parking sub-tag or an
unsuitable one. Street-side parking usually isn't of interest until you
are in the area or are orienting yourself for a trip to visit a POI
nearby. Unlike dedicated parking facilities (like a parking lot or
parking garage), the scale of these is much smaller, yet they are also
much more ubiquitous.

Parking=street_side allows for renderers to de-emphasize these areas
(for a few suggestions, please see the proposal under 'Rendering'),
without sacrificing the findability of dedicated parking lots/garages
(especially if these lack capacity information).

These two variants are mapping for the renderer, and both add false data.
The first one extends the parking over half the road. The second creates a
service road area over half the road. There is no service road area there,
you are just trying to connect the parking to the road so it looks nice on
the map. And it does look nice, but it's false data.

If we want to describe how you get onto street side parking, and it's not
obvious, we could use additional tags, like parking_entrance_direction=*.

Street side parking is a very different parking area from a big enclosed
surface parking. Some people may find it hard to park there because you
back up onto traffic, and they may want to avoid parking there. This
information is definitely very useful.

Car parking areas are, I feel, in a different category to benches.  You
walk to a bench and can infer that if a bench is present you can
walk to it unless there are barriers.  With car parking areas you
need actual routes.  There are off-carriageway parking areas
where the entry might be from either of two parallel streets
(or both) which is unclear if we adopt helicopter parking
tagging.  Fixing the helicopter tagging also fixes the
ambiguities that seem to be the only justification for
your proposal.

And sometimes isn't.  Two parallel roads.  I've seen this case somewhere,
but I can't remember where.  Worse, the nearest point a router could get
to is the road that doesn't have access to the parking.

I agree, it's not a layby.  Technically, cars do park at a layby but I
don't think of a layby as being a car parking area or vice versa.
It's certainly not parking=surface which applies (by default) to
any car park that isn't either multi-storey or underground.

What you haven't convinced me of is that it isn't amenity=parking.
By any rational definition it is.  I know of off-carriageway parking
which is controlled by a county council and has a ticket
machine.  The county council lists it as a car park, one
of three car parks in the town, and makes no distinction.

I don't see any valid reason for wanting to de-emphasize them and
you do not attempt to provide one.  Maybe there is a valid reason
but I don't see it.  It's a place to park.  Somebody looking for
a place to park near to their objective will be just as interested
in off-carriageway parking as an ordinary car park.

If applied consistently, this proposal will increase the relevance of

You wish to increase the relevance by de-emphasising.  I don't
see how that works.  Maybe we could increase the relevance
even more by not mapping them at all - the ultimate in de-emphasis
and therefore the ultimate in relevance.

True, but the same goes for lots of points-of-interests and other mapped
parts of the urban landscape; e.g., patches of grass, shrubs, benches,
bicycle parking areas, etc. In all these cases mapping the exact area
results in a neat map that makes sense for orientation as well as
finding parking spaces for motorists in the neighbourhood.

While being able to route exactly onto a point-of-interest is valuable
in some cases, for the use case of this proposal I would say that it is
not as relevant. Besides, if someone really wants to navigate to a
specific mapped street-side parking area, their router will tend to
route to the nearest point it can get too, which more often than not
will be right in front of the parking area.

This proposal provides tag-values for a common type of parking area
already mapped in great quantities, and hard to ignore at a certain

existing tags (e.g., parking=surface, parking=layby), and it eventually
gives renderers a way to de-emphasize them (the proposal has a few

I don't think a new parking=street_side is necessary for off-carriageway
street-side parking.

The example image you give in the sub-section "Tagging"
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/thumb/b/b8/Parking-render-carto.png/500px-Parking-render-carto.png
is (in my opinion) not a good way to use existing tagging.  The parking
areas
are not routeable (not a big problem unless somebody wants to route
to a named parking area).  As rendered it appears you need a skyhook or
a cargo helicopter to park.  Not good.  You're probably as unhappy with that
method of tagging as I am.

Connecting it with an invented service road also misrepresents the true
situation.

But there is another way of doing it.  A way which comes in two variants,
either quick-and-dirty or purist.

Variant 1. Extend the parking area out to the roat it is on.  Pretty much as
you handled the lay-by example.  As far as rendering goes, where most
carto renders the road on top of the parking area, it represents things
as a way that matches reality.  Here's one I did years ago.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.08560=-4.65830#map=19/52.08560/-4.65830
Streetview for comparison:  https://goo.gl/maps/R7Q1RUWGziLaMemW8

A data purist on the list objected to that.  The rendering is a good
representation of reality but if a data consumer were to look at the
data rather than the rendering then he or she would assume the
car could be parked perpendicular to the carriageway with half
the car blocking traffic.  So for purists...

Variant 2.  Map the precise boundary of the parking area.  Connect it
to the carriageway with highway=service + area=yes.  This results
in rendering that is an even better (if slightly uglier) representation of
reality at the expense of extra effort.  Here's one I did a few weeks
ago to test the idea.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.08268=-4.66461#map=19/52.08268/-4.66461
Streetview for comparison: https://goo.gl/maps/YHTv9dDvSbm6DL1A8  The
streetview is somewhat misleading as recent aerial imagery shows clear
surface marking delineating the boundaries.  That's also a weird example
because some of it is off-carriageway and some on-carriageway (turn 180
degrees in streetview and move forward to see), a situation your proposal
doesn't cater to.

I don't see your proposal achieving anything we can't already do and
doesn't keep the data purists happy, either.

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - parking=street_side

2020-10-24 Thread Supaplex
Hey all,

I would like to invite you to discuss a proposal for "parking =
street_side" for areas suitable or designated for parking, which are
directly adjacent to the carriageway of a road and can be reached
directly from the roadway without having to use an access way:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/parking%3Dstreet_side

The proposed tagging can be used on separate parking areas as well as
with the parking:lane-scheme. It aims not only to differentiate such
street-accompanying parking areas from others, especially
"parking=surface", but also addresses a contradiction in the current use
of the amenity=parking and parking:lane-scheme, which I would like to
mention briefly at this point: the use of "layby"/"lay_by".

The value "layby" was originally intended for forms of resting places,
as they seem to be especially common in rural areas of Great Britain,
Ireland or the US: short-stop rest-areas along through-traffic roads
intended for breaks during a car-trip (see Wikipedia for a definition:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_area#Lay-bys). On areas with
"amenity=parking" this key is also used in this sense (and mostly in
Great Britain).

Within the parking:lane-schema, however, the value "lay_by" (written
with an underscore) has gained acceptance. According to the Wiki, this
value is defined identically to the layby's mentioned above. Its actual
use, however, differs from this and includes mainly street-side parking,
as we address them in our proposal.

With our proposal, we also want to resolve this contradiction. Above
all, however, we would like to create more clarity about different types
of parking in order to be able to distinguish between them.

looking forward to your opinions and discussions,
- Alex - (and Jeroen Hoek, another author of this proposal)
