Sounds like you mean the "shoulder". See

It should usually be tagged as an attribute on the highway, not mapped as a
separate way or area.

Except that I think in the UK they might call it the verge so we might have a
dialect issue.
Shoulder is a fairly common term in the UK.
Usually as in "hard shoulder", ie a paved lane at the side of a
motorway, which you are not allowed to drive on or park on, except for
emergencies.
See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_%28road%29
A verge is quite different - usually a grassy area, next to the road.
And may be rather rough, with bumps, holes, ditches, or obstructed with
bushes or trees. So probably not a good idea to drive or park on it.
