I'm trying to tag a whole bunch of side-of-road parking, and I have two
questions.
First, what is the correct way to tag marked parking spaces? There is
parking:lane:*=marked which would seem to apply, but then it isn't clear
how to indicate the direction (parallel vs. diagonal vs. perpendicular)?
It's also not entirely clear when I am or am not supposed to use
'marked'...
In a parking lot, amenity=parking_space. It doesn't render on standard
carto, so you may not feel it worth the effort. If it's not obvious from
the dimensions (parallel vs perpendicular should be) people will
see when they get there. You've given the capacity but can't
map how many spaces are currently free - some things have to be
left to inspection.
Second, at what point does "on street parking" become a parking lot?
When it's not part of the street.
Interesting. By that criteria, I would think that
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/826561593 has on-street parking, but
would you argue that all of Potomac Avenue
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/686513005 and
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/20453853 *is* or *is not* on-street
parking? What about https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/686513006?
I am particularly struggling to decide what to do at places such as:
38.52057/-77.29185
38.52181/-77.29611
38.52125/-77.29711
Pretend they don't exist. Map something else instead.
Alas, my end goal isn't just to map for the sake of mapping, but to have
a map that is usable for another project :-). Right now, having as much
parking mapped as possible is relevant to that objective.
That first one is tricky. I assume you're talking about the
ordinary parking lot with the off-street parking adjoining rather
than the separate 6-place parking next to the building.
Actually, I did mean the six spaces on the west side of Broadway. I
recommend looking at e.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=22/38.52057/-77.29185 for all of
those, it will be easier to tell what's centered.
That said...
I'd map it as a large parking lot (as you have) and then the
side-of-street but as a separate off-street parking of the type you
did for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/829371451 then combine the
two in a multipolygon.
...I was wondering about this also, so thanks for the thoughts! To be
clear, you are suggesting to *not* use parking_lane stuff for this?
Actually, that#s three separate bits of off-street-parking because they're
interrupted by the access roads into the larger parking area.
Meh, parking aisles and even driveways pass through lots all the time, I
think modeling them as three separate lots may be overkill :-).
