Thanks for all the comments. SomeoneElse wrote on the proposal talk page: The page currently uses both "handicap" and "disabled"; I'd suggest using "disabled" throughout (see e.g. https://www.gov.uk/apply-blue-badge ) as that's the terminology used in UK versions of English. I'm not exactly sure what a "handicap_van" is, but I'm guessing that the nearest UK English term might be "wheelchair accessible vehicle".

I agree. I should have used disabled. I'll revise the proposal to substitute disabled for handicap. Wheelchair_accessible_vehicle is somewhat long, I'd like to propose substituting accessIble_van instead. Warin and Sebastian - Yes adding width is helpful, but providing data consumers with specific places for parking, which already exist along with pedestrian routing, especially for those with limited mobility is strengthened by having dedicated tags for footways designed especially for wheelchair users to access cars and vans. marc wrote - in the propal section, you said "access_aisle=handicap" but them "add access_aisle=handicap_van" handicap_van is not an handicap. it's the véhicule the user leave/reach. I see two types of access_aisles, the first is an area next to a handicap parking space. It's wide enough for a person with limited mobility to get into an out of their vehicle. The other is specifically designed for van equipped with a ramp for wheelchairs. A van with a ramp is limited to just spaces specifically designed for vans while the regular handicap parking can use either. in the tagging section, you said "footway=disabled_access_aisle" : what's the added value to glue and duplicate wheelchair into another key=value ? wheelchair=yes already exist to describe that this way is usable for a wheelchair user. you also said "If the disabled parking space is for vans add disabled_access_aisle=van" to witch object ? to the amenity=parking_space i hope. if so, I'm the current pratice seems better wheelchair=yes <type=of=vehicule>=designated My wording was confusing - I tried to clean it up to not only reflect the change from handicap to disabled but to make sure all segments use the same format.
