Hi, The wiki does not explicitly state what the default assumed tagging is for highway=service + service=driveway. I've seen it used mostly as the private entrance to a house, i.e. the bit of road you use to connect the edge of your property to wherever you leave your car. People usually would not put up a sign "private" because it's just obvious to anyone. In rare cases, the owner will explictly put a sign up. In other rare cases, you are actually allowed to enter because there is some right of way.
In this context, it seems obvious that the implied tag should be access=private (or destination at the most liberal). You would only add "private" if there is signage, and only something else if there is a right of way or something. But maybe this is not obvious in other countries or for other uses of the driveway tag? In any case, it seems some routers will allow cyclist to go through driveways without an access tag, and that is (in how I've seen it used a lot) problematic. Not setting the default to private or destination, forces the mapper to explicitly add the tag, which might be considered wrong if it is not signposted... Either way, the wiki could use more guidance about the access tag for this specific road type.
