I'm afraid there is no consensus on how to map features along a street exactly. Similar to how some mappers glue landuse=relational (etc.) to the street and some use the boundary of the combined plots of the block. Both approaches are valid; the latter is more suitable where highly accurate boundary data is freely available along with high resolution satellite imagery (e.g., the Netherlands) and mappers. Personally, extending the parking area over the carriage way feels like mapping for the router, in that I would be drawing a parking area where there is none just to reach the highway-line in the middle of the street. You are right about mapping the spaces of course; I do so when possible. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
