Actually the proposal page from 2007 said "Generally only public parking lots should be tagged,", but that page is now deleted so you will have to trust me.. :-) The page also says fee=* Default value is no. So as much as it hurts me I must say that historically this tag is only for public fee less parking, and that you have to change it to something else for all other cases. I do not think this is very good for the future. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
