I would go for that. On UK occurrences of this I would possibly tag them as service rather than residential, but it depends how wide/used the road is (try to think if you saw it on it's own). Later somebody (hopefully) will add the house numbers (using http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema) and the houses will either be in a relation with the side/frontage road they are on, or they will be tagged with addr:street=Grandin Road and an algorithm would pick the closest Grandin Road to the house number it wants. Off-topic: The OSM map now has a "Shortlink" in the bottom right with "Permalink" and you get something like http://osm.org/go/WPoaJWjUy- Which I prefer over other link-shorteners in a mailing list because I can see it is going to OSM rather than needing to trust you won't take be to some virus-laden website. :o) -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com
