<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the clear guidelines, Greg.<br><br></div>One additional note is that at least in my area, the TIGER import incorrectly added access=private to many driveways and privately maintained residential roads. Upon surveying these I've found that they are signed "Private" or "PVT" on the street-name sign to indicate private-maintenance/ownership (don't complain to the town about a lack of snow-plowing/grading), but do not in reality have an access restriction. Fixing these is a long process.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 13, 2017 at 9:13 AM, Andrew Matheny <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrewdmatheny@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrewdmatheny@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">I agree with everything Greg has said.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">In the US, whether you tag a highway residential or service should generally be determined by its function, not its access. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">In the case of a gated community of single family homes, the named streets serve the same function as named streets in other non-gated single family neighborhoods.
