What I do is

* highway=service service=driveway
ways connecting to the real roads and sort of going near where you
are trying to go when you want to park in the parking lot (carpark),
just enough to be connected, and trying to pick the places that are
more important/through roads
Well this is an idea, however it is not what service=driveway was intendend
for. It is another value that data consumers treat as 'minor' since it
means a single little way into a property, and thus does not provide
structure for the parking lot.
The latter is more or less what your service=parking_access is trying to
do. But if for example you want to pick someone up at the front door
of a supermarket, and not park, you'd use them. So parking_access
really isn't quite right for most of these ways.
Yes, Martin had already pointed out that we should not limit the value to
parking.

Ok so you do feel the void.

As said, =parking_aisle and =driveway are both minor, we need a classifier for
the major service road.

As =main is occupied by railway mappers, =access is still on the table.
Another idea would be =major, clearly indicating the two classes of service
roads.
