[Tagging] musings on landuse

So, in Italy, the owner of a private parking lot is not allowed to say that his parking lot can't be used as a public street?  It is common in the USA to see signs at parking-lot entrances saying "no through traffic".

> One issue with tagging a commercial parking lot as landuse=road is that it is generally legal to use a road as a through route, whereas you can be issued a traffic ticket for simply cutting across a parking lot without stopping.  Admittedly, this isn't always enforced.  In my experience, this tends to be enforced mostly if a land owner complains about his parking lot being used over-much as a roadway, interfering with its use for parking.

I've never heard of such a thing in Italy. May it be a US-specific issue?
