Document how to map pull offs #23

Open nateirwin opened 8 years ago

This came up on the data call webinar. Many parks have pull offs that aren't exactly parking but aren't exactly a road either. We need to figure out how to map them and document it.

See: http://insidemaps.nps.gov/places/editor/#background=mapbox-satellite&id=n9899&map=21.00/-83.49388/35.63878&overlays=park-tiles-overlay.

Tracing the pullout as "Access Road" and adding a "Parking Lot" point. Consider the edge cases and think about when it warrants including a "Parking Lot" point and when it does not. Initial thought is that if parking aisles are preset, add as parking, if no aisles are defined but it parking is known to be permitted add as parking as well. Otherwise, only trace as access road.
