>From http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parking: "The distinction between public parking lots, customer parking lots (such as at cinemas etc.), and private parking lots (such as for staff in a business park) is handled with access=* tags." To me, reading that directly that would seem to suggest using one of three values: access=public, or access=customer, or access=private. Of these, in your case you would clearly use access=customer. But there may be other opinions out there. Ideally, we do want to make sure the documented access=* values for parking are 1) verifiable, 2) mutually-exclusive, 3) useful. > 2. Should I bother naming these parking lots? If they have names, go for it. But only if they have names (I'm assuming they don't!) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
