It has several cafes, bars and shops on it, with their addresses and customer entrances on Hanway Street itself.<br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;">The photograph is taken from the east ent of the street, facing west, angled slightly to the south.<br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"> <br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;">The photograph is angled to show the only part of the road with no business premises on it. But you can just see the row of customer-facing businesses on the right hand side; and the pale blue building at the the end of the photo is on Hanway Street too, as it begins to curve round to the south with another row of shops/bars etc.<br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"><br></div><div id="sig98312048"><div class="signature">---<br></div><div class="signature"><a href="https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain">https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?spiregrain</a><br></div><div class="signature"><a href="mailto:spiregrain_osm@ksglp.org.uk">spiregrain_osm@ksglp.org.uk</a><br></div></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Verdana;"><br></div><div>On Fri, 12 Feb 2021, at 6:14 AM, Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-GB wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:service%3Dalley">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:service%3Dalley</a> has ongoing topic of what<br></div><div>qualifies as highway=residential and what qualifies as highway=service service=alley<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hanway Street was given as highway=service example, then removed as an example<br></div><div>- with following photo <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Hanway_Street_-_London.JPG">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Hanway_Street_-_London.JPG</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>To me it looks like a narrow highway=residential but right now it is mapped as<br></div><div>highway=service, see <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/233334347">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/233334347</a><br></div><div>(and was mapped as such for basically all its existence).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Photo looks like something that I would definitely consider as narrow highway=residential,<br></div><div>and has tagged such roads in my city as highway=residential + lanes=1<br></div><div><br></div><div>What is your opinion?
