[Tagging] Short-term parking zones

[Matej Lieskovský]

Greetings,

if you group all the streets in a single relation, the relation is likely
to be rather big.
This can be hard on the server.
If you create a single empty relation with the details of the parking zone
rules,
you can then tag every road with the id of the relation.
It is basically a way of flipping the relation system around,
which works well if you have a relation with a lot of tags and members
but every member would only be in a single such relation.
It also makes it a little more obvious that a given road is in the relation.

(I admit it is a somewhat less common way of tagging)

Happy mapping,

Matej
