[Tagging] Understanding links

> Sometimes you have frontage roads who mostly don’t give local access. Example http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=39.47925&mlon=-0.45146#map=17/39.47925/-0.45146 Here the mapper decided to use “tertiary”. The road has mostly through-traffic. I would not make a strict rule for all cases, but just leave this up to the local mappers to decide.

Ah, I understand. A frontage road is any parallel road for local access, which is normally bypassed by the larger road. Tertiary is perfect for your example.  I guess these frontage "alleys" in Japan are really small and cut up (less than 100m or so long, and dead-end to nothing).
