Just being a pedant right now is the parking area an expansion of the road? or has it an edge which is defined by a concrete barrier or a gutter? To make those parking areas as in your example I've drawn in a loop road and labelled it parking which then provides an area. And it wasn't really the truth. I can't provide one at present but I know I've been guilty. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
