By coincidence, I've just got home from mapping a "home zone"<br>
signposted area - first time I've seen one. I'm tagging it as<br>
living_street. Here it is:<br>

<br>
I would say do not use the tag just because of seeing block paving on<br>
the street. As far as I'm aware, there's no rule that motorists have<br>
any obligation to interpret block paving in a particular way. In<br>
practice, I guess it does influence them, but as a "nudge" not a rule,<br>
so it seems to me that "highway=residential and surface=paving_stones"<br>
(as you suggest, Rob) is a good fit for the merely block-paved.<br>

<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">> As far as I know for minor roads, I always default to using unclassified or residential (depending on the surrounding area’s predominant land use). I only use “Pedestrian” where such sign exists, and “Living streets” for actual home zones with “home zone” signs, if I ever found one.<br>
