Idle curiosity are they a legal entity in Mozambique and other

I started a thread about usage of highway=living_street in Africa.
The resulting consensus was that, while unpaved residential streets
in Africa are living streets in practice, they are not legally
classified that way - and therefore the correct tagging is
highway=residential... But participants in the thread were mostly
experienced with French-speaking Africa - so I cannot rule out the
existence of a living street legal classification in other locales.<br>
