Correct - But from my experience its either a service or it has
a name. At least in the part of Germany where i map.

There are of course the 1% of exceptions where Bayer or BASF names roads
on their facility property. But the typical parking aisle or
access to a fuel station should not carry a name.

And naming driveways as the roads they originate from is broken. The
driveway itself does not have a name.

For me this is also a matter of housekeeping the search index in
nominatim. If i search for Bahnhofstraße is typically dont want
to find 100's of Driveways named Bahnhofstraße.

Which of those do carry names typically? I cant see any? And its just
my mapper experience in the wider area i map that we typically dont have
names. And if they are named its a bug in 97% of the cases.

And in the QA i do i do not flag 100% issues - but objects you might
want to take a look at because they are fishy. And typically its not
just that one object but some blocks which have been mapped with strange
assumptions.
