Hello,

what are the correct tags for a road that
- is rather small (it's not large enough to fit two cars aside)
- it's it's asphalted
- is in the middle of a residential zone
- doesn't have an exit
- does not provide access to public buildings, but to private houses?

You can see two examples here:
http://maps.google.de/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&hl=de&ll=46.269042,11.22225&spn=0.002407,0.00751&t=h&z=18

- one is the small road in the middle of the map that goes west near
  the "V" of "Strada del Vino"
- the other goes south-east and is labelled "Piazza Dante" from the
  crossing with "Via Verdi"

Thanks for clarifying..

Udo

photos so I can show you what I mean..
