Reconsider `highway=service` in Polygon Whitelist

[mykolakozyr]

Description

There is highway=service in Polygon Whitelist, while "The tag highway=service predominantly describes a linear feature of a routable way. When mapped as a closed polygon without any further tagging, it describes a linear, circular way and not an area." [OSM Wiki]

In cases using service= tag with highways, it is usually used with the following tags (all of them are linear objects [OSM Wiki]:

• service=parking_aisle
• service=driveway
• service=alley
• service=emergency_access for firefighters
• service=drive-through
• service=User Defined

The issue appeared with no possibility to transform bridges geometry to lines due to the conditions described.

Proposed solution

Remove highway=service from Polygon Whitelist

I found in OSM documentation two types of tags:

• highway=service - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice (your first link)
• highway=services - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservices . You also can read 'Notes' section by this link.

This is important in our case. As you can see in this lib I use polygon-features.json to detect polygons: https://github.com/tyrasd/osm-polygon-features/blob/65e0a1e290675877e8cdd007efcefc35a7dfe0dc/polygon-features.json . And there is only highway=services in whitelist (this is correct by OSM documentation).

If you have any problem with polygons generation, please, describe your problem with example.
