Tags

Parking is a place where people can park their vehicle.

See parking=* for the parking key that is used to specify the type of parking facility.

How to map

Minimal tagging is just to map a node with amenity=parking or another parking tag like amenity=bicycle_parking, depending on the type of parking.

If possible, parking should be mapped with an area and tagged with additional properties and detail. Street parking, particularly in the form of a parking lane or highway shoulder, can instead be mapped via tags on the road way (highway=*) itself using parking:*=*.

Additional tags

The parking=* key can be used together with amenity=parking to specify the type of parking facility. Most used values are:

There also exist other values which are typically used in combination with street parking but also are valid for amenity=parking if unsupported by many tools (including OSM mainstays like Carto and iD). These are:

Use cases

Motor vehicles / Cars

Bicycles

Stroller

Boats

Private/residential parking

  • building=garage - For single-user or single-owner private garage building.
  • building=garages - For buildings which are blocks of private garages, where each garage space has a different owner.

See also

  • amenity=car_sharing - For parking spots for car share vehicles (car clubs).
  • tourism=caravan_site - For a place where caravans / motorhomes / recreational vehicles can stay overnight, or longer.
