Car Parks

Standard

The main guidance for Car Parks is taken from the US wiki page on Parking Lots. The main points you need to consider are summarised here.

  • The place and it's associated car park should be separate entries, not combined.
  • The naming standard generally is to precede the place name with Parking -.
  • The name can be shortened - for example the car park for McDonald's Wodonga South can be simply Parking - McDonald's.
  • Only car parks that are available to the general public should use the "public" type. The exception to this is where multiple car parks exist for one place.
  • Some shopping centres (and other places) name their car parks (for example Red Parking, Weir Rd Carpark, City Beach Car Park).
    • Multiple car parks without specific names should be named, where possible, in a way that is obvious to the user (for example, Park 'n' ride Caloundra North and Park 'n' ride Caloundra South).
    • Where there is no obvious way to name multiple car parks, another distinguisher should be used (for example, Parking - Supa IGA I and Parking - Supa IGA II).
  • Car parks should have entry points added. Multiple entry points should have useful and obvious names added. For example South St / Every Ave or Woolworths / Coles). There is no need to add "entry" to the name as Waze adds this already.
