I am familiar with Hanway Street on the ground. The street is really a narrower than usual West End street with front entrances to offices and some shops.</div>

<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? Is it highway=service service=alley or narrow highway=residential?<br>
</div>
<div>Should it be changed in OSM?<br>
