Do you mark the driveways access=private?

The standard for driveways is in fact highway=service service=driveway access=private.

I don't feel the need to tag access=* on a driveway. It seems that, wherever I draw a driveway, it's access is the same as the property to which it leads, by definition. A standard residential house's driveway (in the US) is on the private property of the homeowner. A driveway leading to a park is usually on the park property and any restrictions are usually posted at/near it's junction with the road, said restrictions applying to the park, not just the driveway.

I think the pipestem thing is more detail than most people are likely to want to map, unless you are micro-mapping for the purpose of facilities management of a particular housing development. Where it is exaggerated (hundreds of meters), I tag it highway=service + access=private (usually with evidence from a posted sign at the intersection with the public road), and then tag the individual driveways off of it as highway=service + service=driveway (if I draw them at all).
