Yeah, but that's getting beyond OSM's scope, IMHO. You you could always add "Authorised:department=sales" or whatever if you were really keen. >In that case maybe we should continue trying to bend "access" to fit the purpose, This is not so wrong, imho, if "access=" means "use is restricted to". "Use" for a road means driving, "use" for a parking lot means parking, "use" for a sports ground means walking around on it... >Also, parking areas for long vehicles only (trucks, buses, caravans >etc), which are quite common at some of the bigger service stops/rest >areas near here. I know at least one driver personally who keeps a >special map tagged up with those around the country. Yep. I've been mapping some docks areas recently. Some parking areas are clearly for trucks/trailers. >Commercial doesn't fit here - equivalent to public. For me, there is a fairly big distinction between a commercial carpark, likely to charge $7+ per hour, and local council-managed parking, likely to charge $0-3 per hour. I don't need to know the exact price, but being able to distinguish the two would be helpful. Steve
