hell, forgot again to set the list on cc :-(

I think tagging is really the better place for it.

I don't say that it makes sense here, but
I confess that the case is special. I also
think that the discussion short should be read by anybody:

The typical case where a way is tagged residential_link
is this:

Can somebody give examples of locations where residential_link makes
sense?

In theory, it is possible that former motorway/.../tertiary with slip
roads/ramps was converted to residential road, without changing road
infrastructure and traffic is still grade-separated.

But is it really happening anywhere?
