<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the great feedback, everyone.</div><div><br></div><div>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'.</div><div><br></div><div>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).</div><div><br></div><div>For the second type of highway=service with no service tagging, what about using service=access? </div><div>It has been used about 1K times already (

So what all these have in common is that they are not public roads not<br>
intended for through-traffic. They are all on private/public properties.<br>
So maybe they could be summarized under service=property, with a<br>
description like "roads on (private) large properties, such as on<br>
hospital grounds, cemeteries, camping grounds, industrial or commercial<br>
areas"<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's a nice idea! </div></div></blockquote><br><div><br></div><div>not all “service without additional subclass” are on properties, while most of those that already have additional subclasses like service=driveway/parking_aisle/drive_through etc. usually are. IMHO “property” would be misleading as qualifier for more important service roads</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
