First, I've recently done a couple of roads in the country. They're
either dead end roads or form some sort of web but are not connecting
roads in the sense that they go anywhere else in particular. One
example is about three or four km long, and has about 5 farms and a
few smaller properties on it. How would you tag that? It's not what I
would call a residential area, though obviously a few people do live
there.
IMHO highway=unclassified
Its not a track as it connectes multiple farms which means its not
mostly for agricultural traffic. Typically the school bus, postman etc
goes through there too.
Its not residential as its not a residential area.
i concur. old farm roads get unclassified, mixed (housing and farm)
neighborhoods get unclassified.
but do get the speed limits and set maxspeed, as otherwise any
routing software will likely make wrong assumptions. if there is no
posted speed limit, find the one for the state in which you are
mapping as again, routing software will otherwise be forced to
make assumptions.
The other extreme is lanes in places like retirement villages and
caravan parks. These are definitely residential areas, but are not
full blown roads, usually only one lane wide and private roads, not
publicly owned. Often with little or no curbing, etc. It feels wrong
to just be marking them as residential.
Within a caravan park -> highway=service?
with
service=driveway|parking_aisle
access=*
as appropriate.
