Hi trigpoint, Thank you for reaching out.
I have made the necessary changes to tag the area as a service road again. However while analysing the issue I have seen that if area=yes is to be used with highway=service, they mostly happen to be for designated service areas. There also were not other petrol stations that used the service area geometry in the area. So I’m wondering if it is OK to keep the area here, or if it will be better to remove it and keep the line geometry for the service road as presented in Tag:highway=service - OpenStreetMap Wiki .
Please let me know of your thoughts on this matter.
