Parking is a place where people can park their vehicle.
How to map
Minimal tagging is just node with amenity=parking or amenity=bicycle_parking some other parking tag or parking:lane=* on the road.
If possible, parking can be mapped with area or with additional properties and detail.
The parking=* key can be used together with amenity=parking to specify the type of parking facility.
Cars & motor vehicle parking
- amenity=parking - The main tag covering most conventional car parks, coach parks etc. Many additional tags are listed on this page.
- amenity=motorcycle_parking - For parking areas specifically for motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, etc.
- parking:lane=* - For parking areas along a highway=*.
- amenity=parking_entrance - For entrances to parking lots. Can be used to map parking facilities, especially when they are underground.
Bicycle parking
- amenity=bicycle_parking - For metal hoops and other types of bicycle parking facilities.
- amenity=bicycle_rental - For docking stations, or other places where you can park a rental bike.
Boat parking
- See Harbour tags.
- amenity=boat_storage - For dry-land boat "parking".
Private/residential parking
- building=garages - For buildings which are blocks of private garages, where each garage space has a different owner.
