2. residential - for highways within the unclassified "block"</blockquote><div><br>Any unclassified road that is bordered on one or both sides by houses. If a country road has a row of say 5 or 10 houses somewhere then I would probably tag that part as residential.

<br><br>I also think there should be something that describes roads that are just for access - that don't really go anywhere but lead to a farm or industrial site, or go through a car park or something. Not sure whether this is the same as a service road though.
