to me, amenity =parking is a "piece of parking" (typically with a name, etc.), including the roads within, also multiple levels, if you want to map singular parking lots (or groups of them, or parking possibilities outside of a parking area, like lots along the road), use a different tag, e.g. amenity=parking_space http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=parking_space or a lane tagging system.
