If the road is for access to housing and not much else (i.e.,
connecting settlements or major roads inside of settlements) I use
residential.

Roads in institutions or large commercial facilities I would probably
map as highway=service, but I am not sure that is a typical usage of
it, but to me they seem like basically private driveways, just really
long and complicated driveways. I would feel strange mapping them as
residential.
