Hi,

There are many wiki articles mentioning the road side and tagging what's on it, e. g.parking.
But I couldn't find how to tag a plain road side itself.
It is not part of the roadway (chaussée) but it's part of the public highway (voie publique).
Often in gravel, It is not a parking where cars are invited but cars may stop on it.
It may be as wide as the roadway, often expropriated in a plan to widen the road.  It's an area.
Hence, the private properties are far recessed, also because roads are drawn thinner than real.
The problem is that private driveways have to be connected to the roadway through it.
That means, that those areas must be tagged as car passable.  If the roadway is:
highway=secondary
name=itsname
What must be the tagging of those areas?
Just the same,maybe?  With
area=yes
But what about routing that shouldn't go through it except to/from the properties?
Any deterrent precaution?

Under what article should this explanation be found?

BTW, a similar but different concern is side_road=*.
But, mind you, they don't exist only in Russia and Санкт-Петербург.
One can see them beside the circle road in Brussels and probably many places.

Cheers,

André.
