If they're only meant for access by residents of the apartments, then no.
- Freak_NL 6y agoDepends on the signage. Intention alone usually doesn't legally restrict usage. If the parking spaces are part of the apartments then they should have signs saying so. It's fine to have a sign at the driveway that gives access to these parking spaces of course.
- mdszy 6y agoI'm not talking about legality, I'm talking about how they're meant to be marked in OSM, which is the question I was responding to.
- Freak_NL 6y agoThe OSM community generally holds that access-tagging of a feature should be based on ground-truth; for parking spaces this means defaulting to what is the local law, and specifying exceptions if signs indicate that it is private parking.
- frobozz 6y agoGo with the signage. When asked to put in opening hours, if the sign in the window says 0800 daily, you don't write "well, I was there at 0830 last Wednesday and they weren't open yet, so maybe 0900?". Similarly, you don't write "I parked there for two hours yesterday and I didn't get a ticket" If there are official-looking signs (not a scrap of plywood with NO PArkiNG written on it with a marker), I don't think it's the cartographer's job to investigate whether the clamping company is legitimately authorised to demand a release fee, how thoroughly the operator enforces restrictions, or how long the warden takes on their rounds.
