[OSM-newbies] What should this be tagged?

[Charlotte Wolter]

Austin,

         It looks like a typical alley, although I don't see many 
garages lined up along it. Is there some ground reason why you think 
it is not an alley, such as pedestrian use? Or is there a tradition 
in your area of other uses?
         I've got a similarly ambiguous situation in Pacific 
Palisades (part of LA). Are these short ways driveways or alleys 
(because they serve multiple units)? I chose "driveway," but, they 
have names (like many of the alleys in Santa Monica right next door), 
so I wonder if it should be "alley" instead.
         Here's the link (Google Maps):

Best,

Charlotte Wolter
