We had a discussion here in March about introducing a new value for the service=* sub-tag of a highway=service, classifying it as a generic major service way category, in contrast to minor values such as service=parking_aisle or service=driveway or service=drive-through. Data consumers already make such distinction.
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2016-March/028982.html There was support for such a value, but recommendation that its scope should be wider than just covering parking lot situations. A mini-vote is now open on the wiki talk page until 2016-May-01: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:service#highway.3Dservice_major_classification_-_mini-vote_for_sub-tag_value Values for mini-vote: service=main service=access service=major Proposed description: Voluntary sub-tag for a highway=service for distinguishing a major service way from sub-ordinated ways, or generally classify it into the major category. Examples are the access way into a parking lot (distinguished from parking_aisle), or a service way connecting several residential driveways. tom _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
