That depends what you mean by "service road". Following the scheme given by 1) and 2) above: If it's named/public, highway=residential. Otherwise, highway=service. > Also, what about weird dinky little strets you sometimes get in suburbia that > are paved with red bricks or something equally creative, but are also the > primary means of access to houses? Residential or service? Again, if named/public, highway=residential, otherwise highway=service. That's what I do, anyway. If not fantastic, at least it's simple. But this is now off-topic. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
