On the other hand for galleries (covering structures like in alpine areas to protect the street, but unlike a tunnel open to one or both sides) and arcades (and colonades) I would prefer to have the attribute on the road. Tunnel should be used for real tunnels and not for all kind of structures where a street is covered.
Then there is a third kind of way: those that are completely inside buildings (shopping malls, generally corridors and hallways, all kind of indoor-ways). I'd like to see a Key indoor for those to stop the abusement of the tunnel-key. cheers, Martin
