Main through road across the front of the shopping centre, with parking_aisles opening off it, put with a dozen or so specialised parking spaces (disabled, ambulance, reserved, electric vehicle charging) on it - does that change it from "access" to another parking aisle? https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28.0979691,153.4409585,3a,75y,3.7h,77.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRK-Dc_i6YeDwLZymf5hZNw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Rear "access" road, intended for trucks to reach the loading docks, store rubbish & industrial bins etc, but also with marked parking spaces https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28.0969499,153.4402914,3a,75y,42.6h,82.39t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sunLAS7MliUIF51mMpGVnUw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 What is a parking *isle*?
