But that's not a parking spot. Because a  vehicle just happens to be there, it doesn't make it one. By your logic we should be tagging pavements as such, because lazy drivers think they're entitled to break the law.

But that was my whole point. No it's not a designated car park or a layby so it shouldn't be tagged as one. But it is something. What?

Physically it could be described as

 highway=passing_place

but those are not intended to be blocked with parked vehicles.

There is also

 highway=yes
 verge=yes

The wiki says "Existence of verges may indicate scope for informal parking of cars in rural areas." How to tag that there is in fact sufficient space to leave a car?

It's not illegal to leave a vehicle on the highway provided it is not causing an obstruction and there are no parking restrictions.

cheers,

Martin.
