Adding a bus stop. Adding a car stop.

What is a "car stop"? What is a "car" to you? In your dialect of English does "car" perhaps mean "a type of bus" like it can in French?

"How is a node added to the map? Then how is the node annotated as a bus stop or car stop. These simple procedures really should be documented." You could try https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/ , in particular the section on "adding your first points": https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/start-osm/#adding-your-first-points

I'm not sure exactly what a "car stop" is, is this a kind of public transport in your area, or maybe something equivalent to a taxi stand (taxi rank)? If it is something that doesn't have a direct equivalent outside your area, you might need to invent your own tag.

What is a "car stop"?

A formalized system of hitchhiking.

Thanks.

Seems reasonable although I don't know how a tag is created. A node is needed before it is tagged.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/hitchhiking#values is used in Germany. See https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1mY1 . It looks like the generic term is https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitfahrbank , although I've no idea if there's a bench in your example. The description on e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6855341945 seems to describe the process there.

Adding a point is easy when a tag in the small list is applicable. But a car stop is not a hospital, restaurant, etc. My edit is blocked until an appropriate tag is found. =8~/ This really doesn't encourage a contribution from a non-expert.

... I've no idea if there's a bench in your example.

Some car stops have a bench; others do not. Same as bus stops. Some have a bench; others do not. The bench is not a defining feature. The only defining feature is the sign.

Will try to create a "car stop" tag.
