<p>I agree with Andrew's tagging guidelines update. I was never
happy with tagging a way as a "living street" when it was
obviously a driveway with a sign slapped onto it to basically say
"drivers, please be careful, pedestrians might cross at any spot".<br>
On rendered data, it often makes it look like the area is a lot
more active travel-friendly and "enjoyable to hang out on" than it
actually is on the ground...</p>
<p>Cheers<br>

<p>Hey Graeme,</p>
<p>Spotting your change certainly reminded me of the shared zone
signs I’ve been seeing, but not because it is tagged
incorrectly. It’s been on my to do list since I nearly got run
over eating a Bunnings sausage over Xmas!</p>
<p>I think that this is a good example of a true “living street”;
it would not have been a service road if not signed as a shared
zone, and is intended to be shared space to encourage pedestrian
traffic.</p>
<p>Similar examples I am familiar with include Fitzroy St, St
Kilda at Acland Street; Kananook Creek Boulevard South in
Frankston between Playne and Davey; and Hardware Lane,
Melbourne, at the Bourke Street Carpark.</p>
<p>I have noticed that a lot of “true” living streets in Melbourne
are busy roads that have been handed back to pedestrian traffic,
or are in new, sterilised (soulless) places like Docklands.</p>

<div>I was clearing a note / Inspector issue nearby &
wondered why this street appeared differently on the map:</div>

<div>Had a look & it was tagged as a service-alley which
just didn't seem right, but neither did =residential, so I
changed it to =tertiary (=unclassified may have been
better?).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Question was raised as to whether it should be, so I've
now changed it to =living_street pending outcome of these
discussions.</div>

<div>Here it is FYI:</div>
