Idle curiosity are they a legal entity in Mozambique and

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>

<p>Another possibility is a combination: <br>

<p>highway=service plus service=alley <br>

<p>for example here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/230413004#map=14/46.6890/31.1548">http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/230413004#map=14/46.6890/31.1548</a></p>
<p>These are not really residential streets like in a city, which
are a shown on the map with strong lines.<br>
