Perhaps there should be some distinction between parking with permits only for residents or employees (like Montreal above) and parking where a daily/weekly/monthly/annual permit is available to anyone for a fee. e.g. access=residents access=employees access=customers (customer parking at a store) access=permit (permit available for purchase) access=public (parking available by the hour or for free to anyone) Of course, we could simply use access=private for access=residents and access=employees, since these parking spaces are not generally available to the public. There are many lots here (in Toronto) where one pays a monthly fee to park which MUST be distinguished from lots that are limited to residents only and also from lots where parking is available for an hourly fee. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
