This seems to me to be an important gap in rendering, and not just highway

Greetings,
One of the things I've done is work with a local High School and
introduced them to OSM through Mapzen. Mapzen is comparable to potlatch.
Use mapzen and use the wiki to look up the things you're putting in -
i.e. - parking lots. Look at all the tags/things that can go into that -
