JOSM’s validity checking will warn against a highway=* going through a 
building=roof but it accepts it if you add a layer=1, so in this situation I’ve 
been using the following tagging:

building=roof
layer=1
(and typically other things like amenity=fuel).

Often, but not always, there is a small building under the canopy with an 
attendant or small convenience market. Using the building=roof + layer=1 
combination on the canopy also allows adding the covered building.

Setting the tag “covered=* would make sense to me in situations where buildings 
overhang or cover the highway but based on how it looks on the ground 
tunnel=yes seem inappropriate.

Cheers,
Tod
