We had a discussion here in March about introducing a new value for the
service=* sub-tag of a highway=service, classifying it as a generic major
service way category, in contrast to minor values such as
service=parking_aisle or service=driveway or service=drive-through.
Data consumers already make such distinction.

There was support for such a value, but recommendation that its scope should
be wider than just covering parking lot situations.
A mini-vote is now open on the wiki talk page until 2016-May-01:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:service#highway.3Dservice_major_classification_-_mini-vote_for_sub-tag_value
Values for mini-vote:
service=main
service=access
service=major
Proposed description:
Voluntary sub-tag for a highway=service for distinguishing a major service way
from sub-ordinated ways, or generally classify it into the major category.
Examples are the access way into a parking lot (distinguished from parking_aisle),
or a service way connecting several residential driveways.
