I agree with Pierre's description of highway=residential and highway=path.
I also believe it is a good idea to tag driveways and roads to compounds as
*highway=service*.
A problem I commonly see in residential areas in Africa is highway=track.
It seems to be a little condescending for remote mappe

I did, however want to expand a bit on the idea of when to use service

highways should be evaluaed on the type of traffic possible - highway=
residential in residential areas if at least passable by 4 wheels- highway=path
if only motorcycles, bicyles and foot traffic is possible.

I'm not even sure if this is the best place to raise this but Africa covers
a lot of countries.
We have some agreement on how to map highways in general Africa but narrow
residential highways are a problem. I suspect highway=residential plus a

This isn't quite true, or rather, you're not understanding how people map.
JOSM will let you edit any data in the world, but you have to be interested
in that area first: I can be sa
