I would do almost the same, but would leave out the access=private,
as this is difficult to determine from the aerial imagery, and is
implied for service=driveway anyway.

I would use highway=unclassified instead of residential as long as we
are not inside a settlement; the implied rules like default speed limits
tend to be different for inner-town roads and these rural roads and the
tagging should distinguish between these types of road as well.
