Thanks Clifford,

I've tried to use your tagging system in an area close where I live. You can find here the way (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/746061718) and here a picture from Google Streetview (https://www.google.it/maps/@45.428055,11.791072,3a,25.2y,347.58h,76.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sc04-aTnZlGZiu4i3Pm0Czw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). Is this what you're proposing?

I think a few mapping examples could help in better understanding the proposal.

    There are a couple of things that are not totally clear to me:

      * in general, might these tags apply also to areas, rather than
        only ways?

We already have highway=pedestrian. Are you suggesting that we also have highway=pedestrian + pedestrian=access_aisle? I probably wouldn't map an access aisle as an area but I'd be interested in hearing more.

No Clifford, I'm wondering if the area of the access_aisle could be mapped as an independent area (polygon instead of line), aside of the parking_space area.

      * I am a bit confused by /accessible_van/. Does it refer to vans
        instead of cars? In this case I think it is not an information
        related to the aisle, but to the parking_space. If it is still
        for disabled persons, shouldn't it be access_aisle=disabled
        anyway?

Vans can be equipped with either ramps or lifts to load and unload wheelchairs.  The ramps and lifts require an extra wide space, in the US, it's 8 feet, about 2.4 meters. These vans are quite common in the US. I haven't seen any cars similarly equipped.

If the aisle is for disabled people, I'd use access_aisle=disabled. Maybe we can add some quantitative details as width=* to describe the extra space.

Ale
