Use amenity=parking_entrance 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 
and add
amenity=parking_entrance + parking=underground - Entrance to an underground car park
amenity=parking_entrance + parking=multi-storey - Entrance to a multi-storey car park- amenity=parking_entrance + 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=parking_entrance 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.

| 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=parking_entrance 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.
Access restrictions
For a much more detailed explanation of the new scheme using amenity=parking_space, amenity=parking_entrance 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).
