Proposal

In a nutshell

1. Use the conditional restrictions scheme for conditional parking restrictions.
2. Cleanly separate tagging of physical alignment (parking:lane=*) and condition to park (parking:condition=*).
3. Update some wording to better reflect practice and new tagging.
4. Parking positions remain unchanged. See the current wiki page for this.

Affected tags

• Introduce parking:condition:*:conditional=* following the conditional restrictions scheme.
• Adopt the current maxstay=* syntax for parking:condition:*:maxstay=*, including conditional restrictions.
• Introduce parking:condition:reason=* to describe the reason for a certain parking condition (if any is given on the sign).
• Deprecate parking:condition:*:default=* and parking:condition:*:time_interval=*.
• Move the values no_parking and no_stopping for parking:lane=* to parking:condition=*.
• Move the value fire_lane to parking:condition:reason=*.
• Document parking:lane=yes and refine parking:lane=no.

Rationale

The current proposal from 2012 uses non-standard tags like time_interval to specify a time range and is not very flexible with handling parking lanes that have different conditions throughout the day. This means that many parking restriction signs cannot currently be mapped in OpenStreetMap. This proposal aims to introduce support for conditional restrictions to alleviate this.

Current practice

Proposal

Parking spaces The parking:lane tag is used to describe the "physical" properties of the road. This means space properties. Please note that the latter three are considered "physical" tags, this means: parking is not possible, so no parking:condition tag (see below) is required in those cases. Key Value Description parking:lane:side parallel Parking parallel to the road. diagonal Diagonal parking. Also known as angle parking or echelon parking. perpendicular Perpendicular parking, i.e. at a 90° angle to the road so that the the front or back of the vehicle points straight towards the road center line. marked Only some parking spaces are available, these are individually marked. Note that there is an obvious overlap with parking:lane:side:type=painted_area_only (see below). As opposed to this tag, the latter allows to also specify the orientation. no_parking No regular road user is allowed to park on the road. They may stop, though, to for example pick up/drop off a passenger, unload cargo or for other reasons as laid out in the local legislation. no_stopping No regular road user is allowed to stop their vehicle, except when traffic conditions require them to do so. In addition this also implies that neither standing nor parking is allowed. no_standing No regular road user is allowed to park on the road. They may stop, as long as they remain in the vehicle, to for example pick up/drop off a passenger or for other reasons as laid out in the local legislation. This restriction is known and explicitly signed most notably in the United States but unknown in most other legislations. fire_lane In countries where such exist, an extra sign indicating a lane that must be kept clear for possible fire engines, or other emergency vehicles: in a sense equal to, but stricter than a no_stopping. no It is not distinguishing between no_stopping , no_parking and no_standing, it may make sense to use in some cases. separate Parking facilities are mapped explicitly (usually with parking=street_side).

Parking spaces The parking:lane tag is used to describe the physical properties of the road. This means space properties. Please note that this tag only describes the space properties, not the actual condition. A parking:condition tag is required in those cases. See below. Key Value Description parking:lane:side parallel There is parking space. Vehicles must park parallel to the road. diagonal There is parking space. Vehicles must park diagonally. Also known as angle parking or echelon parking. perpendicular There is parking space. Vehicles must park at a 90° angle so that the front or back of the vehicle is pointing straight towards the road center line. marked There is parking space, with only some parking spaces available that are individually marked. no_parking No regular road user is allowed to park on the road. They may stop, though, to for example pick up/drop off a passenger, unload cargo or for other reasons as laid out in the local legislation. no_stopping No regular road user is allowed to stop their vehicle, except when traffic conditions require them to do so. In addition this also implies parking is not allowed. fire_lane In countries where such exist, a sign indicating a lane that must be kept clear for possible fire engines, or other emergency vehicles. no There is no parking space. yes There is some type of parking space. If possible, be more specific. separate Parking facilities are mapped explicitly as another object (usually with parking=street_side).

Current practice

Proposal

Parking conditions The parking:condition tag describes the legal properties of the parking space. Key Value Description parking:lane:side parallel, diagonal, perpendicular. For other types, the condition tag makes little sense. For separate, the conditions should be tagged on the separately mapped amenity=parking instead. parking:condition:side free No additional information is required. ticket To be discussed. Maybe add a parking:condition:side:fee_per_hour=1 € tag. disc Add a parking:condition:side:maxstay=2 h tag. This means you may park here for up to 2 hours. residents Add a parking:condition:side:residents=A tag. This means "parking only for residents with permission A" (With A being the identification of the permission). A parking permit on a car windshield. customers No additional information is required. This means you are only allowed to park here if you are a customer of the shop that owns this parking space (or a visitor of a site, or a guest of a hotel, or similar). private No additional information is required. This means you are only allowed to park here if you rented the parking space (or have a permission of the owner). disabled Usually, this parking space is not about free or paid. It requires being related to disabled persons or to have such permission. no_parking In combination with time dependences (see examples below), no_parking may also be used as a condition. no_stopping In combination with time dependences (see examples below), no_stopping may also be used as a condition. Type of vehicles If the condition is valid only for some vehicles, use parking:condition:both:vehicles=motorcar or parking:condition:both:vehicles=goods; bus Residential permits Area based residential permits often carry some sort of letter or code identifying the area wherein they are valid; this can be recorded using the key: parking:condition:side:residents. When parking is requires a ticket or a residential permit, the following combination is often used: parking:condition:both=ticket parking:condition:both:residents=* More usual OSM tagging convention would, for the same purpose, suggest: parking:condition:both=ticket;residents parking:condition:both:residents=* Time dependence In many occasions, parking conditions are time limited, especially for disc and residents parking. This can be specified by using the following tag: parking:condition:side:time_interval. Values specify both days and times, plus it can be multiplied. It uses the same syntax for values as opening_hours. Key Value Description parking:condition:side:time_interval <opening_hours> A date and time specification as per opening_hours, such as Mo-Fr 12:00-14:00 The format is complicated to define technically, but easy to understand by examples: 12:00-14:00 means: "every day from 12:00 until 14:00". Mo-Fr 00:00-24:00 means: "every weekday (except Saturday and Sunday)". Su 20:00-06:00 means: "Sunday night from 20:00 until (Monday) 06:00". Intervals may be joined by semicolons with optional whitespace: Mo-Fr 09:00-20:00; Sa-Su 09:00-14:00 means: "Weekdays 9 to 20, and weekends 9 to 14". With multiple differing conditions In the simplest case you have free parking at night, and ticket parking at day on workdays; for example, parking:condition:right=ticket parking:condition:right:time_interval=Mo-Fr 09:00-19:00 parking:condition:right:default=free Sometimes specifying one default condition is not enough. In these cases we end up with an abundance of tags, for example: parking:lane:right=parallel <empty> parking:condition:right=no_stopping (read: no stopping during morning rush hour; US read: no parking during morning rush hour) parking:condition:right:time_interval=Mo-Fr 07:00-09:00 2 parking:condition:right:2=disc (read: otherwise, at daytime, short term parking only) parking:condition:right:2:maxstay=30 min parking:condition:right:2:time_interval=Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00 default parking:condition:right:default=free (read: and free parking at night) In this example, we couldn't use plain parking:lane:right=no_stopping, as parking is allowed at some times of the day. Maximum stay Use parking:condition:side:maxstay to specify maximum stay limits; especially applicable for disc parking. It should take values precisely as per maxstay.

Parking conditions The parking:condition tag describes the legal properties of the parking space. This tag is also the default value when used in combination with conditonals. Note: Do not confuse condition with conditional. The former is part of the parking:condition tag while the latter is for conditional restrictions and only added at the end of a key. Key Value Description parking:condition:side free The parking is free to use. If there is a time limit, add a parking:condition:side:maxstay=* tag ticket A ticket is required. This can be a physical ticket, electronic ticket via SMS or through an app, etc. If possible add the location of the ticket machine(s) nearby using the amenity=vending_machine + vending=parking_tickets tags. disc A parking disc is required. Add a parking:condition:side:maxstay=2 hours tag to describe the time limit, for example 2 hours. residents Add a parking:condition:side:residents=A tag. This means "parking only for residents with permission A" (With A being the identification of the permission). A parking permit on a car windshield. customers This means you are only allowed to park here if you are a customer of the shop that owns this parking space (or a visitor of a site, or a guest of a hotel, or similar). If additional restrictions apply, such as a time limit, add those. private No additional information is required. This means you are only allowed to park here if you rented the parking space (or have a permission of the owner). disabled Usually, this parking space is not about free or paid. It requires being related to disabled persons or to have such permission. no_parking No regular road user is allowed to park on the road. They may stop, though, to for example pick up/drop off a passenger, unload cargo or for other reasons as laid out in the local legislation. no_standing No regular road user is allowed to park on the road. They may stop, as long as they remain in the vehicle, to for example pick up/drop off a passenger or for other reasons as laid out in the local legislation. no_stopping No regular road user is allowed to stop their vehicle, except when traffic conditions require them to do so. In addition this also implies that neither standing nor parking is allowed. no There is no explicit signage that prohibits parking, standing or stopping, but some of these are not allowed, and it is not possible to distinguish the exact conditions. Type of vehicles If the condition is valid only for some vehicles, use parking:condition:both:motorcar=free to specify the type of vehicle it applies to. If vehicles are only allowed at certain times, use conditional tags, like so parking:condition:both:hgv:conditional=free @ (08:00-18:00) (Only HGV during the day, no restrictions at night) or parking:condition:both:hgv=free (HGV by default) parking:condition:both:bus:conditional=free @ (Sa-Su) (And also buses on weekends) A total ban on lorries would be parking:condition:both:hgv=no_parking (No parking applies only to HGV) Residential permits Area based residential permits often carry some sort of letter or code identifying the area wherein they are valid; this can be recorded using the key: parking:condition:side:residents. When parking requires either a ticket or a residential permit (named "A" in this example), specify both conditions in the main value and further describe the residential permit in another tag that is specific to that condition parking:condition:both=ticket; residents parking:condition:both:residents=A Time dependence (conditional) On many occasions, parking conditions are time limited, especially for disc and residents parking. This can be specified by using the conditional tag: parking:condition:side:conditional. It uses the same syntax for values as conditonal restrictions. In the simplest case you have free parking at night, and ticket parking at day on workdays; for example, parking:condition:right=free (The default is free) parking:condition:right:conditional=ticket @ (Mo-Fr 09:00-19:00) (But on workdays, paid parking) Sometimes specifying one default condition is not enough. In these cases we end up with an abundance of tags, for example: parking:lane:right=parallel parking:condition:right=free (By default this is a free parking) parking:condition:right:conditional=no_stopping @ (Mo-Fr 07:00-09:00); disc @ (Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00) (No stopping during morning rush hour. At daytime, disc parking only) parking:condition:right:maxstay:conditional=30 minutes @ (Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00) (And only a 30 minute stay) Note: The use of additional namespaces (:1, :2, etc.) is deprecated. Maximum stay Use parking:condition:side:maxstay to specify maximum stay limits; especially applicable for disc parking. It should take values precisely as per maxstay. If this applies only part of the day, use parking:condition:side:maxstay:conditional. Reasons for the condition (optional) It is often useful to indicate why certain conditions apply. This allows telling a fire lane from a loading zone or an implicit condition (e.g. no parking near a crossing) from an explicit condition (no stopping sign on a busy throughfare). Use the parking:condition:side:reason tag to describe the reason for prohibitions in the condition when needed. Note: Tagging this is optional. The list of reasons below is not a complete list, just a collection of the most common ones. Key Value Description parking:condition:side:reason bus_stop This is a bus stop, where according to local legislation, certain rules apply. crossing This is near a crossing, where according to local legislation, certain rules apply. fire_lane This is a fire lane that must be kept clear for possible fire engines, or other emergency vehicles. junction This is part of a junction and according to local legislation, certain rules apply. loading_zone This is a zone for loading and unloading of goods and/or passengers. passenger_loading_zone This is a zone for loading and unloading of passengers only, not goods. priority_road This is a priority road. According to local legislation certain rules apply. street_cleaning This is a street cleaning zone where vehicles intermittently may not be allowed to park, stand or stop. This includes snow removal. turnaround This is a zone for turning a vehicle around, typically at a cul-de-sac. turn_lane This is part of a turn lane and according to local legislation, certain rules apply.

• I approve this proposal. Great work, and thank you for persistence on refining this Proposal for each and every edge case I and others were throwing at you on the discussion page. Also thank you for all the examples with pictures, when incorporated in the main page, it will be very helpful --Westnordost (talk) 14:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. Thanks for patience in dealing with all related and sort of related things on the talk page. Overall it appears a noticeable improvement and I see no problems with changes being made. It is nice to be able to support more exotic tagging and gain a bit of consistency in tagging Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. This would make tagging a bit more consistent and I'd be more than happy to re-tag parking restrictions I've previously mapped to this scheme. I wish I'd seen it when it was first proposed. --Rskedgell (talk) 18:34, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. Well written proposal, especially with the comparison between the old and new situation --Cartographer10 (talk) 20:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. --Emilius123 (talk) 20:29, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. Thank you for your patience as we went down this epic rabbit hole fixing so much technical debt in the parking lane tagging scheme. I likewise plan to update my existing parking lane tagging in the U.S. and look forward to mapping parking lanes more often, now with a more expressive scheme. – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 20:35, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

• I have comments but abstain from voting on this proposal. I support this, but don't like keeping some of the syntax. ---- Kovposch (talk) 06:35, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. Incredibly detailed, but also confusing! Definitely going to need a cheat-sheet to use it! :-)--Fizzie41 (talk) 05:45, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. And hope that in the follow-up we can perhaps also aim to "reform" of the parking lane scheme itself (see talk page). Thank you already for your good work. --Supaplex030 (talk) 17:19, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. Good work! I particularly like the `loading_zone` and `passenger_loading_zone` addition --Tjuro (talk) 10:01, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• I approve this proposal. This proposal does not resolve all discrepancies between subtags for parking lanes and parking areas, but a good chunk of them, so it's a big and well-executed step in the right direction. --Tordanik 15:51, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
