Fair enough. That’s a very different situation from what I’m usually mapping.

I don't disagree with any of your comments!, but these are in a rural, rather 
than a built-up area, so IMHO the situation is slightly different?

 

I've done a similar thing on a property I know in Western Qld where the 
"driveway"is ~2 k long from the road to the house paddock, & also named that 
with the property name.

 

Sure, you can put the name on the property itself, but which one of the tracks 
actually leads to the house, rather than the shearing shed?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme

Where driveways end at a garage door (which is pretty much all driveways I’ve 
mapped), I’ve connected the driveway to a node shared with the building outline 
and tagged as entrance=garage. As the garages are pretty much all part of the 
main buildings, which have address tags on them, data consumers should be able 
to clearly identify the address of the driveway in that case.

The wiki suggests you should use the addr tags instead:

addr:street=Jardine Road
addr:housenumber=32
addr:unit=a/b/c or leave off for common driveway

I have tried this in the past, but validation tools complained.
I'm not sure if it is acceptable to set an address on a driveway.

Hi
I see that you have named the driveways. How does this sit with  
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only

 

I don't "think" it goes against the grain of anything listed there?

 

No, driveways aren't (usually) signposted, but there will usually be a mail box 
beside them saying "32" - is that good enough to use as a street sign?

 

As mentioned, I did it that way to help people find the property - if there's 
overwhelming objection to it, I'll stop!

 

 Thanks
