The qualifier service=parking_aisle was originally introduced [1] to structure car parks with a few main access ways and lots of small aisles, to avoid clutter in lower zoom levels.
It is highly successful with over 2 Mio uses. The description says that, however "The main way(s) on the parking lot, for entering and connecting multiple parking_aisle, should be mapped with highway=service, only." Apparently, mappers feel a void in tagging highway=service only, without a qualifier, and add parking_aisle to all ways related to parking, thus losing the structure. Thus I would like to use a different qualifier for those ways entering the lot and connecting the aisles, e.g. service=parking_access. This does not break any consumer, is not used so far (ok, once, exactly for the purpose), and also solves a recent question in the wiki for a related problem, a separate parking road parallel to a main road.
