[Tagging] Proper parking lot separation

[John Willis]

Very large facilities often have separated parking for various types of vehicles. We represent these with basic tags - car, bicycle, motorbike parking, but I am wondering how to tag large vehicle parking (semi trucks and similar size), bus parking (distinct in many parking lots catering to tourists) and handicapped/disabled _only_ parking lots. Many larger places I am tagging have separated, gate controlled lots for handicapped tags, offering special amenities, or at least have a separated zone. 

When tagging a large facility I need:

- car(understood) 
-bus
-"large" (truck/tanker/semi,etc) 
-motorbike (understood) 
-disabled car only 
-disabled bus only 
-bicycle (understood) 

All have separate sections and are easily mappable via area. I recently mapped Hanyu SA this way. The parking lots have different spaces painted and signed for only one type of vehicle, and is representative of most modern malls, businesses, and venues that have a lot of parking in Japan. 

Being able to map their location, especially for the disabled car parking, is very useful because usually it offers many additional amenities to disabled people and can be placed randomly. In such a large lot, knowing exactly where to go is very helpful. I have driven wheelchair vans before, and you need all the help you can get! 


This came to my mind because of the overnight fee just for HGV vehicles. 

Any advice on how to represent these as different lots correctly is appreciated.
