for a shaded area, a polygon with something like

landuse=highway_services

or

amenity=highway_services

would make sense. conventional POIs inside the area can represent the
available services. i guess i'd have to hear the case for site-relation, 
although
i can kind of see something like that as generally useful. e.g., 
shopping centers,
their landuse boundary, parking lots, stores and buildings could be 
grouped this
way. but do we really need it? what's the use case?
