Now, the alley tag mentioned is problematic because there is no clear<br>
definition what may still count as an alley and what should be a<br>
residential road already.</div></blockquote></div><br><br><br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra">For me it's basically an alley if it's too narrow to be a residential street. I'd expect the osm residential streets to be passable with a "normal" car plus a pedestrian, otherwise it would be an alley or a path, or (if motor vehicles are not permitted), likely a footway or bikepath. Also if the turns are too sharp (corners) for a car it would not be a residential street. Typically the residential street will have width for 2 cars to pass, plus pedestrians on each side.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Cheers,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Martin<br></div></div>
