Be careful. I think some "public" carparks, e.g. multi-storey parking, open 24 hours a day, charging a fee, run by a private business, are access=permissive. > For car parks: > Use access=yes for public parking, access=permissive for customer parking and > access=private for staff parking, or whatever. I do agree that a convention for parking should be specified. But I DON'T think we should use access=permissive simultaneously with two very different meanings: 1) (wiki definition) privately owned land, for example by a business, with general access allowed to anyone 2) (the proposed parking-specific definition) access allowed to customers _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
