Graeme - are you saying that you are tagging them all the same? Just as separate ways?

cheers

When I've found the same situation, I've just left it as a single
service=driveway from the road to where it splits, then two (or however
many) more driveways from that point to each house.

Thanks

In doing the rounds of the Willoughby LGA, I've noticed there are quite
a lot of shared driveways. This has likely come about from where one
previously large block has been subdivided - sometimes multiple times.
Each block typically has access to the main road via a narrow strip of
land, on which the shared driveway sits.

The service=driveway tag is "a minor service road leading to a specific
property", so isn't really appropriate for driveways leading to multiple
properties.

So I've started tagging some of these as driveway=pipestem, as per the
wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway#Pipestems

What do people think?

The wiki also suggests service=pipestem as an alternative, but I prefer
service=driveway + driveway=pipestem as it's more compatible with
existing tagging - for most intents, if a shared driveway is
rendered/routed as a driveway, that should be acceptable.

An example:

Enable the DCS NSW Base Map in ID editor if you want to see the strips
of land via which each property has access to Fullers Rd.
