How to tag road service station?

How to tag a place where the road service resides? By road service I mean the organization that clears snow during winter and fixes the roads during summer. Correct me if it is called otherwise in english.

I think these places are are a type of depot, and would be covered by the proposed tag for landuse=depot. Proposed features/Depot.

This tag has been discussed on the mailing lists previously, and is used several hundred times (according to Taginfo)

It would be useful to specify extra details of the depot using the tag depot:type. Possibly something like depot:type=road_maintenance. And you can also tag the name and operator etc.
