yes, this is a discussion we also had over weeks and months in Italy, many 
years ago, where some mappers sustained that even in cities like Milan the 
highest road class would be tertiary, which led to illegible maps in these 
areas for some time, until they could finally be convinced...

In case of a road going through a settlement I would keep the road class. The 
wiki page on residential is also clear on this I thought: ‘This tag is used for 
roads accessing or around residential areas but which are not normally used as 
through routes (which would usually be classified highways or unclassified 
highways).’
