Add `parking:lane:*=no` to the edit menu

Open tordans opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

We use parking:lane:*=no to show that there is no parking but also no special sign that would justify a no_parking tag – especially when a road is mapped in two separate ways since there is a barrier in between.

I suggest adding it to the edit mode. I think the view mode is already good, since this mapping is – as far as I know – mostly used on separately mapped roads so ignoring it in the view mode already looks good.

Example:

  • https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/764644564
  • https://zlant.github.io/parking-lanes/#18/52.47765/13.43254

CC @SupaplexOSM – Does this ticket describe the usage of this value correctly?

Yes, your example is a good one for the "no"-value, as I understand and use it. But it's use is rarely discussed and documented so I'm not sure how well it is supported in the community. Note: I think there is a consensus that a "no_parking" does not necessarily have to be signed – e.g. in a curve or in a narrow street. My understanding: But there should be at least a theoretical option to park there if the situation would be different (e.g. no curve or a wider road).

On the inner side of "dual carriageway" roads (OSM tag for that in rare use), which are not signed as one-way roads, parking is usually neither intended nor allowed. For this fine differentiation I use "parking:lane:left=no".

There might be other cases where this tag could be useful, but so far there has been very little discussion about it and the documentation is sparse.

Thanks @zlant I see 'no' is now part of the value list, that is great.

What do you think about adding it to the visualization as well as a color?

Right now, those parking:lane are presented "blank", but they could also be considered a variant of red, since there is no parking allowed.
