[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Rideshare Access

[Clare Corthell]

Hi all,

Thanks for the discussion. Lately the open questions center on formulating
tags for pickup/dropoff points or areas as opposed to roads. Some of the
latest:
- How should a designated curb location be indicated for rideshare access?
How might this apply to a point or area (eg parking lot
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/366754575#map=19/-33.93330/151.18194&layers=N>
)?
- How might designations for specific companies be indicated? (eg Uber
pickup location differing from Lyft pickup location)
- How might access for pickup only, dropoff only, or both be indicated? Do
existing access values satisfy these? Is a tag indicating pickup/dropoff
zone/point needed?
- How would an exclusive road for rideshare be tagged,
"rideshare=yes"+"access=no" or "rideshare=designated"+"access=no"?
- Is there a more common term for uber/grab/lyft/yandex/etc than
"rideshare"?

Please add to this summary or join in. Open to starting the voting process
~Nov 12, we could push back again if this begs further discussion.
