I think this is basically wrong tagging.
I find this a little disturbing and now got into an argument whereas
my position is the above - broken down into my more strict language:
- If the public has a right of way
- The road is build/run by public authorities
- Its not something obvious like a parking space
- It cant be service
It might not fit 100% everywhere, but no rule without its exception.
Broadly agreed with your concerns.
A very important characteristic of a place you can drive is
- it is legally a road, where more or less anyone has a right to
drive (and this can be public ownership or private). Typically this
means that the ground on which it is built is carved out as a
separate lot for ownership (or government owned). This can be
government, or it can be a road in a subdivision which is in the US
marked "private way" meaning that it is legally a road but privately
owned. You can still get a speeding ticket on it, because the road
use rules apply to private ways, but do not apply to what you do in
your farm field.
Whether they apply in a shopping center is an interesting question.
I'd say: yes, you will be cited, and probably that does not hold
up. But in some places (north carolina), the property owner can put
up signs that the traffic laws apply anyway - I saw these at the
biltmore estate. Basically "this is private but the unwashed
public is here and we want the police to be able to bust them" :-)
- not legally a road, in that there is no right of access, traffic
laws do not necessarily apply, and there is no separate parcel for
it
This is basically
"highway=primary/secondary/tertiary/unclassified/residential" vs
"highway=service/track".
It would be goo to have this be
That's a wonderful theory - and you get a 'stew' mess of unclassified if
you do that in mapping the reality ...
The mapping differentiation in unclassified (mostly connecting roads),
service without service=* (mostly destination roads) and track (for -
due to history - public accessible rural driveways) is simply driven by
reality.
The first we had at navigating in the late 199x'/early 200x - resulting
in advising horrible routes through undesirable ways.
With the latter you have a reasonable routing (and rendering too, by the
way).
