Here's a (very small, delivery-only) parking space I mapped as connected to the way:</div><div><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/oaXMUYZTLn72">https://goo.gl/maps/oaXMUYZTLn72</a> (relax, I didn't use Google Maps to map it, it's literally</div><div> a two-minute walk from where I live). I mapped it as</div><div> <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/525946296">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/525946296</a> I consider that to be indistinguishable</div><div> from the way, and from my memory of the aerial imagery for Yo passepor's parking spaces, I believe</div><div>they were similar.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd only separate the parking spaces from the way if there were some physical barrier along the</div><div>common border. But in that situation I'd map map a driveway at each end and possibly a</div><div>parking aisle along it. Something more like this: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/525370232">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/525370232</a></div><div>(except that's wider than either of Yo passepor's examples, being wide enough for two rows of</div><div>parking spaces). The barrier in that case is a raised kerb, so you could drive over it if you really</div><div>wanted to, but it's easier to use the entrances.</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div>
