I hope your proposal is not complete yet because it does not answer the 
following questions:

How is this mapped? Is the tag added to the ways or is it mapped as a 
boundary.

What are the benefits of your proposal compared to 
parking:lane:condition=residents?
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:parking:lane#Parking_conditions

Section "Examples":
 > As mentioned in the introduction, residential parking zones are
 > widespread in the U. S.
 >
 > In Germany, cities like Stuttgart, Mannheim and Hamburg make use of
 > residential parking, for example.
 >
 > Each zone is several square kilometers large.

Leaving the questions apart, I presume that your proposal is not 
suitable for the situation in Germany [1]. In Germany, a residential 
parking zone must not be larger than 1000 m. Within that zones at 
daytime (9:00 am to 6:00 pm) no more than 50% of the parking spaces must 
be reserved for residents. At night, no more than 75% must be reserved 
for residents. The other areas are either without any ruling, for charge 
or require a parking disc. The places available for every motorist are 
usually located next to shops and other POIs, not in quiet side streets. 
As an result, you do not have a homogenous zone such as an "Umweltzone" 
(low-emission zone). Instead, you have streets with real zone signage 
[2] and streets with dozens of traffic signs [3].

In Germany, residential parking zones are called zones by politicans and 
administrations but in practice, they are scattered roads but no clean 
polygons. And on private property, parking depends on the will of the 
land owner.

Best regards

Michael
