<blockquote type="cite"> this area is definitely mainly <b>suitable</b>
for cars to use, and used as such, much as you would think of a

crossing over, there is a postbox used by passing-by cars, there
is a car sharing stop (not yet on the photos, like a bus stop),
cars and vans, even machinery, frequently stop for various
reasons (including looking at an OSM map ;-)).</blockquote>

Yes, positive Martin, thank you, but not quite.<br>
The best idea is in fact below it: highway=layby, if I understand it
correctly as a place where you can <b>safely</b> get off the road
to stop for whatever reason. But this extremely good idea has
apparently been shot dead by a noer.<br>
There's a problem in wanting to make precise categories for
everything. If a tagger doesn't find one, he won't tag. However,
laybies where one can stop are important to know, instead of
stopping in an unsafe place when a safe one exists 100 m further
round the bend. And there are many ones worth the name rest_area
much less than this one.<br>
