In many areas that I’ve mapped it would be the only hope for someone to use OSM to navigate to a specific address. And on most map rendering the service roads don’t show up until you are zoomed in pretty far so is shouldn’t “spoil the map appearance” (and you shouldn’t be tagging for appearance anyway).<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But do check by survey (or at least satellite imagery) as many of the unnamed Tiger roads don’t really seem to exist in my area at all.

<div class="hmmessage"><div dir="ltr" class="">TIGER drew thousands of driveways that are often simply wrong. They are tagged private and in my opinion spoil the map appearance with little red squiggles all over the place. No other map I've found includes them. Looking around the country, I notice some areas where they were removed, changed to service roads, drawn de novo, and one area (near Rosebud, OR) where they were inexplicably changed to living_street, which they just aren't. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I've been deleting them if wildly wrong, and would like to delete all I encounter.
