Sounds good to me, How should we tag a private corporate employee car park? Partically round hospitals where there are staff car parks and patient car pars and they are different. > > * access=destination - but I think that should only be applied to highways > * operator=* - but this doesn't seem to imply clearly enough that the > right to park may be restricted Can do that as well, often the car park is restricted to the shops but operated by a Parking Company.
