Is this really the best way?

I am usually doing it like this (separate entities), it also seems most
useful for drivers / riders, because each group can see where are their
parking lots.

So... I'm not sure I agree with that. Maybe it's different in !US, but in the US, motorcycles can (generally) park in any car parking space. If we're going to use that argument, why do we have capacity:disabled, or indeed capacity:*, rather than modeling those spaces as separate lots?


You asked for 'better' without defining what better means to you.
To me it is 'better' to know where these things are (requires more work by the mapper) rather than that they are somewhere inside some area (requires less work by the mapper).

Disabled parking to me is 'better' mapped as a separate thing, as is truck parking etc.

While a motorcycle may legal park where a car parking space is the same cannot be said of a motorcycle parking space givenĀ  the usual sized of the things.


Tags may be available for those who cannot be bothered with the detail, similar observations may be made for surface=paved vs surface=concrete etc.
