Ok, so what exactly are we trying to achieve here? What are these tags going to be used for - who, why and when? We can have as many classifications as we like, but why? They only lead to confusion and differences in interpretation.
I'm not picking on Anthony here, his is just the email I happen to be replying to :-) Personally: I'm looking at a city centre I'm going to visit, I'm looking out for blue Ps. I don't really care if they're commercial car parks or not. Mapping the areas around shopping centres? Just make them yellow! I know they'll have car parking, they always do. Does the sports club I'm visiting have a car park? It goes without saying they are for members and visitors. Just make them yellow! Can anyone park there? Do I have to have a reason to park there? Am I not allowed to park there? That should do, surely?

I thought the description of access=destination matched thisscenario fairly well. You're saying that it only applies if the road is publicly owned? (i.e. a strict reading of "right of access" rather than"you're allowed to be here if...") I do think access=destination should only be used where people have a right ofaccess. But furthermore, "you're allowed to be here if" isn't thesame as "there aren't any signs saying you're not allowed to be hereif". If there were a sign which said "anyone may use this parking lot if thisis their destination", maybe access=destination is appropriate. ButI've never seen such a sign. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
