[Tagging] Signification of designated word

[Richard Mann]

The meaning and use of "designated" is confused and highly contested
in OSM, so I'd avoid using it for any other purpose.

I'd have said "carpool" ought to be a distinct value, not a key, if
you've got exclusive parking. Something like:
amenity=parking+access=carpool
