[OSM-talk] Parking aisle as boundary of car park not showing

[Steve Chilton]

Mapnik doesn't recognise dual tags. In this case the area tag takes
precedence. Separate polygon is the way to get it to show.

Whenever I've mapped car parks I've kept the area defined as
amenity=parking as a separate polygon from any highway=service that
may run around the outside of it. Map Features suggests that
amenity=parking is a tag for nodes and/or areas, and that
highway=service is a tag for ways. That Tiles at Home seems to cope
doesn't necessarily mean that Mapnik can handle the dual tags.
