Hi John,
I don’t know if how I do it is “right”, but I have used access=destination, and foot=no where I have those types of things. I haven’t ever used amenity=parking_entrance, although that doesn’t mean I’m right as I’m still a relative newbie at this compared to many. Actually, I use access=destination on all of my school entrances, regardless, as they are rarely, if ever, public rights of way and can seem like “shortcuts” between roads which are otherwise unconnected.
Cheers
Stuart

I have a school car-park tagging question...
Suppose there's a vehicle entrance, distinct from the main/pedestrian entrance, leading (perhaps via some service road) to the school car-park. How should this best be tagged? Is
amenity=parking_entrance
the appropriate tag (it's in the Wiki, but that page could be read as suggesting that this tag is an alternative to mapping an amenity=parking, not an addition to it). Or is
entrance=parking
better? The Wiki doesn't mention 'parking' as a value for the 'entrance' tag, but maybe that doesn't matter.
Presumably an
access=destination
tag will also usually be appropriate on the the school car-park?
