Dear all,
I'd like to ask for your comments on this proposal:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/amenity%3Dsmall_vehicle_parking

While we have dedicated tags for parking amenities for bicycles and 
motorcycles, we're missing tags for those dedicated to other kinds of 
small vehicles, like kick scooters. This led to a larger number of new
keys that are already in use a couple of times each, but there is no 
formal documentation yet.

I don't think it makes sense to use an individual tag for each kind of 
vehicle parking as this will lead to problems in cases one area is 
dedicated to different kinds of vehicles, e.g. kick scooters and small 
electric vehicles.

So, I propose amenity=small_vehicle_parking as a common top-level tag 
that can be refined with the usual vehicle type tags such as moped=* or
small_electric_vehicle=*.



Jan
