I believe you are making this too "philosophical". Should we tag the private residential garden of someone who doesn't use it in his leisure time differently from the garden of someone who uses it? Green patches along a road can be there for decorative reasons and or for safety reasons, one doesn't exclude the other. There are areas around the world where people do sit down aside a road, e.g. there are flower beds, benches, etc. This said, I don't think we should tag the green areas along roads as gardens, unless there is a particular exception (garden themed areas). > > If these same areas were covered with concrete .. would you still think of > them as 'leisure'?
