access= ?? is exactly why I feel that highway=service is the wrong
thing for a driveway.
It does not inherit the access defaults of the highway=service. I was
going to describe the defaults of my driveway differently to your way,
but the conclusion is the same - the access rights are different.
If you wish to map highway=service service=driveway then I would still
have hgv (literally, in my case) using the driveway with a standard
router.
My property adjoins an industrial complex. heavy goods vehicles
(up to B-doubles in this case) are not wanted on the service road to the
2 houses and the office area, but have a more suitable entrance with
access to a turning area.
