Unfortunately things are changing regarding the Hard Shoulder on UK
motorways. During times of congestion the Hard Shoulder is opened up to
alleviate some of the problem by allow traffic to use it to get to the next
off ramp and leave the motorway. So access=no would only apply some of the
time (an
Now your question is a lot clearer.
The highway=motorway already implies that there is two or more lanes plus
an emergency hard shoulder, but this does not apply to other highways. The
only other tag is the highway=escape which is something completely
different.
I am not aware of any other tag that
I have to admit I admire the problem but do not have an answer.
What I would like to suggest that dropping the "desk" part and just using
"reception" could make it more conducive to the various applications being
discussed.
It could then be added as a subcategory to the area/building such as

In a discussion with Ivan Gayton of MSF on this subject and his view on the

I believe there is room for tagging both the amenity and the private toilet
where this is deemed a positive study point.
The amenity=toilet is an existing tag for public access amenity and is
rendered on the map.
As toilets do not sit out in the open (except in some continental places

me. I do not have a Google account and my Virgin email is unacceptable.

Thanks Kotya,
Being able to include pictures, etc, is at least is a great positive.
I still need to sort out what has happened to stop me from signing up for

some from getting involved. Or we need to give more accurate sign

The idea is to get this rendered on the map.
My opt is for amenity=power_socket which is what people will be looking
for. It will be impossible to have a different symbol to indicate every
different type of outlet in the world.
Then the next thing they will need to know is the type of socket so t

I am a bit puzzled by the use of amenity here.
According to wiki it is "Covering an assortment of community
facilities..." that
are of obvious use to locals and/or tourists such as toilets, banks,
schools.
I find the use of amenity for things like a bar or biergarten or sauna to
