... and to expand on this a little bit: around here at least, I am under the impression most of this parking information was added based on streetside imagery by people working on behalf of organizations who are interested in parking and stopping conditions. For a variety of reasons these organizations aren't interested in sections that are a plain "no parking" always on both sides of the street, and instead are more interested in more complex situations. So that might be part of why the simple tags didn't get used as much. --Jarek _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
