Hi everyone, I'm interested in proposing and/or documenting existing tagging approaches of the wiki to ensure that all highway=service ways can have a service=? associated tag. Having done, so I'm planning on resurrecting https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/808 to help people get all service roads appropriately tagged in their area.
At the moment, service=? can be (according to the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service): * service=parking_aisle * service=driveway * service=alley * service=emergency_access * service=drive-through But service roads are also used for the 'main ways on a parking lot', and there is also an indication of access to multiple businesses (like in an industrial estate etc), and it looks like the documented way is to not to provide a service=? tag in this case. This seems problematic to me from a map maintenance purpose, as how do we know if a highway=service just hasn't had a service=? tag applied yet, or if it is one of the exceptions that does not get a service=? tag (and which one is it?) I would like to try to understand the highway=service usages that don't have a current documented service=? tag and either propose an appropriate tag or find examples of existing tagging to document. At this stage I think appropriate tagging for some of the missing service=? tagging indicated in the documentation would be: service=parking -> main way in a parking lot, for connecting service=parking_isles (used almost 2K times already: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/service#values) service=driveway -> also used for access to multiple businesses (like in an industrial estate, etc) service=driveway/drive-through -> Service way for access to a fuel station Are there any other main understood uses of no service=? tag that would need an appropriate service=? tag to fill this gap? Once I've got some good starting feedback from this forum, I plan on revising https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/service%3Dparking to include any new appropriate service=? (not just service=parking) tagging and start the formal RFC process. Thanks for your feedback, everyone. - David
