Pierre's suggestions are a good guideline in general and I don't have
any disagreements with them.
I did, however want to expand a bit on the idea of when to use service
roads, so here is that...
I for one am in favor of additionally making liberal (but careful) use
of highway=service.

If it is an untagged way that covers the whole block of buildings I
would say just delete it. It is not accurate data anyway, so not really
worth keeping. I know we try very hard to clean up data from newbies,
but this I think is beyond the point where it makes sense to.

Hi,
I am not from the area, but I did want to post my 2 cents about this
issue. Your idea of how the offset got started sounds correct. I
would caution you though that GPS traces can be offset, too, due to
atmospheric effects. To really get a good trace with no offset you
need to do a few
The easiest way to fix this may just be with a text editor and
xapi/overpass queries. First do a query to get a file of affected objects
in a given area, then load the area in a text editor and do a search for
