Periodically along US highways, there are giant scales for trucks to get a
weight certificate to comply with various laws. How should these be tagged?
How about:
highway=motorway_link for the ramps linking to the motorway
highway=scale for the scale node/area

I would be glad if we could resolve the question of how to tag private
backyards/gardens or whatever you want to call that in one word - I mean
the green area around family houses, often only grass, sometimes few
trees or other plants (varying from roses to a bed of carrot), usually

Pleas
However, grassy areas around businesses, schools, public buildings, and the
like may or may not be open to use by members of the general public. Some
locations also have private parks (reserved for use by the organizations that
own, or have leased, the space.

although "completely inaccessible" is always relative: do you have to

I am saying that, since the standard meaning of "supermarket" is "grocery
store", at least in the USA, tagging such stores as department stores would
more accurately reflect the merchandise available than tagging them as
supermarkets.

For the first there is
Ok so I keep running into these; green areas visible on satellite imagery
that are tagged as parks but aren't really.
My first instinct was to remove them, but that was mostly met
with skepticism and alternative tag suggestions. So I am thinking of
inventing a couple of new tags for this:

In the UK, they'd almost certainly be tagged as supermarkets, since
our stores tend to have one product area dominant (eg groceries).
Department stores are large shops with lots of different departments
selling lots of different things from lots of different counters, but
