How do we differentiate between driveways and pipestems? Pipestems are
common in planned residential developments (at least in the US), where
a number of houses are located off a pipestem, each with their own
driveways. Maintenance of the pipestem is the responsibility of all
the homeowners off tha
I'm not clear why this is all that different from an alley which might have
garages along it. Creating a new tag here seems like overkill to me.
Couldn't you just use one of the service values (driveway, alley, or just
keep it at service), and add access tag, operator, etc.? I know taxonomies

I need some way to differentiate between pipestems and driveways,
because the distinction between the two are very important for my
community.
Operator and access tags are useful, but they won't help me
differentiate between the two.
I'm not proposing to create a new tag that becomes standard. If

This sounds very interesting. Maybe we could (instead of re
Hi M∡rtin Koppenhoefer,
Yes, the automatic retrieving can always cause mistakes. Manual check is a
good supplement. I think this model has been adopted in many cases.

It is quite common to do so (currently there are 171710 ways tagged

West Virginia actually maintains and numbers these "pipestems" under the
"Home Access Route Program" (example:
http://www.gribblenation.com/wvpics/subs/939on11n-kerr.jpg)
Before they were given to the state in the 1990s, they were "orphan
roads" that were open to the public but not maintained by

I'd favour access=permissive rather than private.

I agree about the access issue, by default for a driveway (or sub-type
pipestem :) access should be private, as it's solely intended for the
homeowner(s) to drive and/or park their vehicles. As Elizabeth points
out, yes, it does require routers to check the sub-type to see if it's
a driveway or not
Interesting, this is a different definition of pipestem than what I'm
familiar with. Pipestems as I know them (at least in Fairfax County,
Virginia, USA), are a shared driveway leading to two or more houses.
The houses on a pipestem are jointly responsible for maintaining the
road themselves. Maybe
