If you enjoy country walking off the beaten track, it's often difficult to find somewhere to leave the car for several hours without it getting in anyone's way. Country lanes can be narrow with passing places or field gates which would be obstructed if a car is left there for long periods.

So it's great to find unofficial parking places such as these -- wide verges with solid ground, unused corners at junctions, odd bits of unused land, etc.

It would be even better to be able to locate them on a map in advance.

But how to tag them? It's hardly a Car Park. Nor a Lay-By in the usual sense -- even if it is, highway=layby appears to be an abandoned proposal:

Thanks.
