Thanks for the great feedback, everyone. Firstly, I don't want anyone to feel that just tagging highway=service is wrong, and you have to have a service tag. Any information available on the map is more useful than no information. I just want the ability to differentiate between 'we don't know what sort of service road this is' and 'we know it is a main parking road and/or access within a private residential/commercial/industrial/etc property/campus'.
On the main parking road, I think we are largely in agreement that service=parking would be a good addition to OSM documentation (and is already in use throughout the world, as such). For the second type of highway=service with no service tagging, what about using service=access? It has been used about 1K times already ( https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/service=access#overview, https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/WGY), and looks like it has been used in that general 'access to facilities on a larger property/campus' sense. For example: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/WGZ. - David On Mon, 3 Aug 2020 at 08:31, Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > sent from a phone > > On 3.
