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?
Sounds like you mean the "shoulder". See
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shoulder
It should usually be tagged as an attribute on the highway, not mapped
as a separate way or area.
