I propose to add the following to the Parking wiki page, in the table of the "Tags" section, as follows: (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parking) Column "Key": access Column "Value": public/customer/private Column "Element": [node or area] Column "Comment": Specify the intended users of the parking lot. access=public if intended for the general public, access=customer if intended only for those who are visiting nearby shops/amenities, or access=private if access is more restrictive than access=customer (e.g. for staff only, or requiring specific permission). Thoughts? The main problem is that if we propose those values of access=* specifically for amenity=parking's, this is not consistent with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access. I don't think that would be a big issue, though - just add something on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access such as "The tag access=* has a different meaning when applied to an amenity=parking feature." Alternatively, for parking, use the key "use" (as a noun) instead of access, as in use=public/customer/private. Again...thoughts? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
