Ah, so you want to tag for the renderer. Firstly, the renderer could choose not to show small car parks below a certain zoom level, which would prevent clutter automatically and is preferable to mappers tagging "In MY opinion, this car park is unimportant."

Which kind of defeats any argument that they are of lesser importance. Often they are free, although of limited duration, which can make them preferable. Often they are nearer to a POI or group of POIs than the larger car parks. Often such parking areas are full when large car parks are not. > > Parking=street_side allows for renderers to de-emphasize these areas > (for a few suggestions, please see the proposal under 'Rendering'), > without sacrificing the findability of dedicated parking lots/garages > (especially if these lack capacity information). > So tagging for the renderer because, in your opinion, these car parking areas are unimportant. -- Paul
