<p>Hey all,<br>
<br>
over the past few weeks, a group of mappers has been working on a
proposal to improve the mapping of parking lanes and parking
spaces along streets. Considerations and discussions about this
have already arisen in the past among street parking mappers, and
now a proposal has been prepared.<br>
<br>
The goal of this proposal is to deprecate and replace the
parking:lane=* and parking:condition=* schema for mapping street
parking spaces. The existing schema has some weaknesses and is
unnecessarily complicated and therefore unattractive for many
mappers. Above all, in many ways it differs from today's OSM
conventions. The proposed new schema is intended to be easier and
more logical to apply. The new schema follows established OSM
conventions more closely. It harmonises tagging of parking spaces
mapped on the centerline as an attribute of a street with parking
spaces mapped as a separate feature. It also reflects aspects of a
data migration process.<br>
<br>
For details, see the proposal:

It is quite extensive, as it covers and reforms all aspects of the
previous schema and closes some further gaps.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
Alex<br>
