I generally tag lane ways as highway=service, as that's what they generally are, service access to the rear of residential properties. >> 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?

But this is now off-topic. like the other John said, highway=living_street, and also they generally have low speed limits (10-30km/hr) and a lot of foot traffic, but pedestrians don't have to have right of way... eg Mary Street in Gympie, speed limit is 20km/hr from memory, lots of speed humps that double as pedestrian crossings: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=gympie&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Gympie+Queensland&ll=-26.189505,152.660662&spn=0,359.981976&z=17&layer=c&cbll=-26.189467,152.660565&panoid=zzm50GIV5YChxCFyE8G55g&cbp=12,113.26,,0,5.05 _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
