Hi all,
There are lot of parking lots on amenities (shopping malls...), where parking 
is free for customers, but only if you park for less than some specified time 
amount (let's say 2-3h), imposed by that amenity. After that period, you have 
to pay[1]. It is widespread where I live, but I would suspect this is not 
limited to my country only. I searched and didn't found any examples on wiki 
and taginfo. We discussed this on Telegram channel a bit (thanks Mateusz 
Konieczny for help!) and we brainstormed a bit and seems that most logical way 
to put this would be with 1) conditional restriction, 2) keyword "maxstay", 
already in use for timespans. So, something like:
`fee:conditional=no @ (maxstay < 2h)`
or
`fee:conditional=yes @ (maxstay > 2h)`
(on amenity=parking)

Question is - how should I pursue this forward, since I never did any proposal 
before? Do "conditional restrictions" also fall under regular proposal process? 
I guess yes. Maybe I missed something and this already exists? Mateusz started 
discussion on 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Conditional_restrictions#Tagging_free.2Fpaid_parking_depending_on_stay_time,
 maybe we should just wait on comments there first? Is this "too small" to 
bypass proposal? I guess answer is "never".

Thanks, Branko

To cover how this works, in case you didn't had joy of experience to use this - 
you usually press machine to get ticket upon entrance (or human hand it to you) 
and ramp opens to enter. When you exit, you present ticket to machine/human and 
lift gate/ramp opens if you stayed for less than specified amount of time. It 
will not open if time limit (of how long you stayed parked) is reached and in 
that case, you have to go back and pay first to some specific place.
