I was out walking around and “popping” quests on StreetComplete. I was wondering what the consensus is on the question “Who is allowed to park here?” In this case, it’s an ungated parking lot next to a commercial/industrial warehouse with many companies occupying the same space. A few of the parking spots had a sign indicating “reserved for XYZ customers”, but most did not. This is not a city-owned parking lot. What’s the right answer?

      I think some of the spots are also free for anyone? If all three are true, each with a subset of the spots, my gut reaction is to select ‘open to anyone’

        Unless you know for sure I’d default to the safe option (only people with permission).

        Just cause it really suck to follow osm then get your towed/ticketed or anything, and you don’t want to muck up the dataset

    I’d choose “Can’t say…”, leave a note explaining the situation and let someone split the parking or do it myself on PC (or in Vespucci).

    What do people put at a place like McDonald’s or WalMart? Typically there are no signs saying “customers only”, but it’d be strange to park there and walk somewhere. Same for a church, except I’ve lived in some places where the church parking lot was used by the people using a nearby bus stop.
