I can believe it exists, and it being common in .eu explains why it's in
the josm presets.

I would use the normal UK term, as OSM tradition is to use UK English.
It seems coach is for distance and 'bus' is used for within a city as
part of a rapid transit system.  But we need an en_GB native speaker to
opine.

In the US people do use "motorcoach" to refer to a "tour bus" when
trying to make it sound fancy, so I don't think coach_parking will
confuse most en_US speakers.  But e.g. Greyhound calls itself bus.

I guess when you see it in the wild we can talk about how to map it.

In many parking garages in the US, there are spaces labeled "compact car
only" which is a way of saying "this parking space isn't long enough".
But generally there are some of those and many regular and nobody has to
think about it, and I know of no place where you can't park in the
facility at all if you don't have a compact car.
