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

        If you don’t know for sure, answer “can’t say”. A tag shouldn’t be present if its proper value is unknown.

          After 11 months consideration and more experience with osm myself, I gotta agree - even defaulting ‘safe’ is mucking up the dataset in this case
