I have never said that residential may only be used in city limits.<br>
I have said that as soon as there is usage for residential purposes<br>
its not unclassified - Thats exactly the terminology from the wiki:<br></blockquote><div>[...] <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

"This tag is used for roads accessing or around residential areas."<br>

So - bringing this together - as soon as there is residential usage<br>
it cant be unclassified? Am i so wrong?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It depends how you define "residential usage." Years ago, my walk to work (from a bus stop) took</div><div>me along a mile of unclassified road. I actually saw a planning order pinned to a telephone pole</div><div>referring to it as U1234 (the real number has been changed to protect the innocent), so I know</div><div>it was officially unclassified. About halfway along was a cluster of three or four cottages. Some</div><div>people would map that as a residential area, although there were no signs indicating it was a named</div><div>hamlet. I wouldn't class that as a residential road, not even the brief section with the cottages. It's</div><div>an unclassified road with some houses and that's how I'd map it. Residential areas, to me, are</div><div>named localities.</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div></div></div>
