</div>How were you planning to achieve this?<br></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
There is still no consensus that I'm aware of for how to do this<br></blockquote><div><br>What about <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area</a> ? As I said above, so long as the road doesn't have any street lines within it (as most of the residential roads where I live are), you just draw a border around the area and tag it with highway=residential (or whatever) and area=yes. For example, <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.077444&lon=-82.548096&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=28.077444&lon=-82.548096&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF</a><br>
