Quoting Warin <[email protected]>:
_Truck Parking_
Some places have had the name 'Truck Parking' applied to them (service
roads, parking areas and rest areas too). Not good.
My confusion here is does this mean truck only? I think other users may
have the same issue.
And some rest areas have a real name, so leading to this data being
removed.
The tag hgv=yes could be applied to the roads and rest areas to
indicate this, and it does not mean motor_vehicle=no.
Some roadside parking areas are explicitly signposted as truck parking
(rather than rest area) - I have often marked these as parking areas with
name=Truck Parking (or similar - if it isn't otherwise named). I have no
idea if cars are banned (there is no explicit sign saying they are, and I
have stopped in these in a car at times).
Agreed with Warin, the name key is for the name only not a description
like "Truck Parking"

I would go one step further and use hgv=designated on the
amenity=parking node/way to indicate that trucks are preferred in this
parking area and remove "Truck Parking" from the name. If car's aren't
explicitly signed as no, then leave off the motor_vehicle=no tag.
The tag 'description=Truck Parking' could be applied ... I think that will
satisfy all sides?
It may even be usefull for those rest areas that some find suitable for
'camping'?
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description
I think that is going to be the best solution for both situations.
