I agree, I had the problem on motorway service areas, where parking is segregated between HGVs and cars. I solved it with access tags for the respective vehicle class.

I am not happy with this new tag. Agreed, we have the tags amenity=bicycle_parking and amenity=motorcycle_parking, but they have been with OSM for years, whereas the tourist_bus parking is new (from Feb 2019) and has so far very few uses.

My feeling is that we should not add more humanities along that line, like RV_parking, hgv_parking, snowmobile_parking, cargo_bike_parking and so on, but try to think,of something better. In particular I would like some tagging scheme that allows you to identify a parking facility, and within that same facility (which carries the name) the parking sub-facilities for cars,  buses, HGVs, motorcycles, ...That would make more sense.The parking I have just inserted has two separate areas and separate entrances for cars and tourist buses, but it has only one name. Another frequent situation are motorway stations where parking is usually split into cars, busses, and HGVs. Hopefully it's just my ignorance and someone else has already implemented the prefect tagging scheme somewhere.
