Tools for this tag

Use amenity= to map a single parking entrance (and/or exit).

Separate access for pedestrians can be mapped with entrance=yes.

How to map

Add a node node and add

  • amenity= + parking=underground - Entrance to an underground car park
  • amenity= + parking=multi-storey - Entrance to a multi-storey car park
  • amenity= + parking=rooftop - Entrance to a rooftop car park
  • The differentiation between different kind of entrances for different kind of transportation modes (car, foot, …) is defined by setting the correct access tags (access=*).
  • Parking entrances should always be connected to a highway, often highway=service, and never be mapped isolated.
  • The distinction between entrances which function as exits, entrances or both is defined by the oneway=* tag of the highway=* connected to the parking_entrance node.
  • amenity= is normally used for underground or multi storey parking entrances, not for surface parking. Add parking=underground or parking=multi-storey.

While underground or multi-storey parking facilities can also be mapped as an area using amenity=parking in combination with location=*, it’s also helpful to map the entrances and exits as nodes.

Additional tags

Key Value Comment

general tags * See chapter General tags in the proposal for tags that can be applied to spaces, entrances and relations.

Optional relation

  • More than one entrance might be grouped into a single parking facility by using a site relation. See example below and Relation:site for details.
  • The relation would use the tags type=site + site=parking.
  • If a amenity= node is added as a member of a site relation, the role entrance can be used, optionally.
  • However, note that this type of relation is not yet supported by many database users.
Example of several parking entrances grouped into a site relation to map an underground parking facility

Access restrictions

For a much more detailed explanation of the new scheme using amenity=parking_space, amenity= and site relations, please read the proposal. You will also find information on how to tag access restrictions for certain kind of user roles (parent parking, disabled parking).
