[HOT] landuse=residential and routing problems

[Vao Matua]

Interesting situation Marco, one I've often seen in Ethiopia.
I would suggest that creating "virtual" roads is not a good idea.

The purpose of routing software is to help someone navigate the real world.
If someone were to try to drive an imaginary route it would cause problems.
Additionally I find it hard to imagine a scenario where someone would use a
routing app to go 100 meters through a village.

The paths you have mapped are fine, but the key thing is to map the route
to the next village or highway=unclassified+.
