The two methods:
1. Tagging on the way line. When a road, highway=*
2. Tagging a polygon. When a road, area:highway=*
Will always be used next to each other. We have to take that into account.
New mappers, see a parking plot/space and want to draw that in, that is
logical behaviour. It is obvious for them to draw a polygon. And want them
to see on a map.
It is not obvious for them to tag parking:lane on a highway=*, the method
for wayline parking. Originated with the first development of
Openstreetmap, then the system evolved, area:highway was developed later.
We must give them the opportunity to do so, polygon mapping. Topographical
mapping.
Also for on the lane parking, we need the polygon to draw in, because space
lines are painted on the road or different paving, indicating parking
spaces, parking traffic signs refer to it.
In the mind of general people there is no difference on the carriageway or
beside, for them it is both street side parking. street_side is also on the
lane parking. It is more a general term. (I think, maybe more for not native
UK people).
Do not make a difference between carriageway (painted, surfaced) and beside
parking by choosing street_side value as a tag for one (beside).
Polygon: Where the transportation modes can walk/ride/drive on a polygon, we
tag area:highway=* , that is a base tag.
On a way, highway=* we have residential and service and
service=parking_aisle, this is on a amenity=parking.
For a polygon on lane and beside we have area:highway=service, even when you
draw in a amenity parking, you have area:highway, there the lane is
area:highway=service service=parking_aisle, parking spaces are a kind of
service.
The plot/space on a amenity=parking,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking_space , there is
no much visual difference, when there is a parking_space on a amenity and or
on the (marked parking) carriageway or beside parking.
The value should/could also be used. There everywhere, places for disabled
parking and electric parkin a spaces
On the lane road with no marking, there is only the (1.) wayline tagging,
parking:lane possible,
A carriageway, can have,
wayline tagging highway=residential with parking:lane=no_parking,
polygon highway tagging area:highway=residential, the lane to
walk/ride/drive
polygon parking tagging area:highway=service service=parking
parking=street_side on lane and beside parking:condition=free
In this example there is a no_parking traffic_sign on both side of the road,
EU rules, determine that such traffic_sign, no_parking only prohibited
parking on the lane, and not the marked parking spaces or the verge. So w
must have the opportunity to tag it properly, this is a example both methods
of tagging are needed (line polygon).
Use area:highway for polygon and parking!
The combination area:highway=service and service=parking, should be enough
indication for the render to not set a P. (Carto) Even when there is a
amenity=parking is set. (wrongly?)
parking= street_side could be used there is no conflict parking=* on amenity
with parking
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dparking#Additional_Tags
The only point for me is, can also the value "parking_space" be used, with
what key? area:highway=service service=parking parking=parking_space(?) (Do
we need street_side?) Or is it parking:street_side=parallel
People, want to draw in a single space. We have to take that into account.
But others draw in several spaces as a one object, parking_space, this is
not correct.
It must be clear that there is a single spot. Somewhere the value
"parking_space" must fit in.
parking_space=disabled, this must not be different then on a
amenity=parking, if, that is confusing for a lot of people ( taggers), now
with electric cars there lots op spaces where only they can park,
traffic_sign prohibition next to the space, single space are more drawn in
the future. Prohibited access on the space.
Netherlands Government, are going to draw in all these spaces, each space
get a ref, for linked data, the cost of electric charging, and more.
Amenity parking and carriageway parking, space tagging must be with the same
tags. If they look the same and the use is the same.
So, we must prepared for more detailed mapping.
This kind of tagging is almost impossible on a wayline, all these way cuts,
visualisation and control the data. A polygon visualisation is more clear.
For me, the value "parking_space" what key, single space problem must be
fixed first to say something about "street_side". As it comes to a vote.
