This is the second RfC since the first one got no comments (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2016-September/030292.html).
The tag building=carport is used for one carport building. The carport might provide more than one parking space. It is not necessary that the carport is currently used for vehicle parking, the tag only describes the building type. A carport is distinctive enough from building=garage and building=roof so that an own tag should be used. The plural (like building=garages) is not defined since all wide carports I could find can be classified as one structure. The key building=* is used since a carport is a type of building=roof. Add amenity=parking/motorcycle_parking/bicycle_parking + building=carports to mark the parking facility. If there are multiple carports at a parking site add the tags to an area surrounding them. These tags are usually not necessary for private parking. There are already 2 183 ways tagged with building=carport. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/carport_buildings Regards Joachim _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
