The problem with short-term parking zones is that the conditions are
much more complicated than in 30 km/h zones… For example from x pm
to y am parking is free for everyone. From y am to x pm it's only free 
for
residents (they get a special sticker for their car), everyone else has 
to
pay a fee of z euros and they are only allowed to park for max. 2 hours.

Now tag nearly every street in a district with this information – and 
when
you're done the city decides to change the rules for it's short-term
parking zones…

That's why I'd like to use implicit values or relations. I don't want to 
use
areas because, as you say, "the appropriate administration does usually
not set a full area (with all houses, parks etc.) as restricted but 
rather the
individual connected streets" – and the rules don't apply to all streets 
in
these areas.

Cheers,
Stefan.
