[talk-au] Shared Zones (Or, Living Streets in car parks?)

[Dian Ågesson]

Hello,

I am increasingly encountering shared zone signs in carparks, driveways 
and other minor service ways. The tagging guidelines suggest that shared 
zones are the equivalent of a highway=living_street, but I'm not sure 
that is the case.

When Shared Zones are applied to shopping strips, residential courts, 
etc, the Living Street tag seems appropriate. But, the parking aisle in 
front of the Bunnings entrance, or the shared driveway of a block of 
three units, doesn't seem to fit. Even though it is a "shared zone", it 
definitely isn't a living street like what Wikipedia describes.

In my opinion, a service street that is a shared zone should not be 
tagged as a living street, but should keep its service tag. (Potentially 
with a pedestrian_priority=yes or shared_zone=yes tag)

What does this group think of this? Would a change to the tagging 
guidelines be appropriate?
