I did find a couple of reports of requests by residents to get them applies to their streets, and those weren't about noise. They were about kids playing on the street and almost getting hit by vehicles, both cars and bicycles. On access=private, I'd say that foot traffic shouldn't route through there without foot=*. My understanding of private is that it means "no access unless you have explicit permission from the owner", so you shouldn't walk there. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
