That's not a bad thought, but it would require connecting the street-side parking area to the highway (e.g., by extending the area to the middle of the carriage way), which goes against the principle of mapping what is there. I don't think renderers tend to have this information available in any case. Another notion I had was that renderers could just use capacity=* as a measure of how visible a parking amenity should be, but that would require knowing the capacity, which is not always plausible (and it could lure mappers into tagging a capacity value they deem suitable for rendering reasons). Of course, using capacity=* as well as parking=* can be useful to highlight huge parking facilities at an earlier zoom-level (I think Carto uses only the area size at the moment to do this). All in all simply adding this sub-tag value seems the clearer option. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
