If it is for entrance only, it is a oneway way, and that should be enough on the service road that is the driveway. 

A car wash would have a oneway service road, with a section tagged as tunnel=building_passage where it goes through the building. There is service=drive_through for the designated lane for that, and put on a one-way way, should show up nicely. 

It would be nice if the drive through lane were rendered differently (like a neon orange color), and should only render at like z17 and up. 

And we use entrance=* for school grounds and other things, so we should be able to tag the entrance=yes on the node (or the way?) . The oneway exit driveway (I assume) should be easily used by routing engines to take you away from the location. 

If you are trying to tag signs, then I imaging there is some sign schema for that. 

For me, the biggest issue is driveways that are closed off/service/locked/old and routing software has been told they exist. In OSM, I try to use access= and barrier= to show their purpose and gate-ness. I still think we need access=visitor and access=student and access=employee. Deliveries covers but one type of the different designated building access types (roads,gates,entrances,amenities,etc), but I guess that is not very good for routing engines.
