look like residential roads to me, having a name or not.
Not even the construction style separates them from the
named residentails.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/253086443
are not necessary to split off the longer section, since
they have exactly the same attributes. This is unnecessay
fragmentation of ways.

The dual carriageway
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/253086428
is tagged residential. I would expect it to have some priority,
e.g. right-of-way against the smaller roads, in which case it
should be tagged highway=tertiary.

Finally I wonder if the single-building hospital
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2590640017
should be a clinic ?
