Usually. There are exceptions, such as where there's a gateway to a drive
that was
originally for a single house but a new house was later built on the
grounds.

Or even a residential road. There are housing estates near me where that
is a better
fit than service road. A service road is a means to an end: public road
network at one end,
a single house or smaller cluster of houses at the other. When there are
houses all the
way along it, that's a residential road (in my opinion). It's a grey area.
. I'd make an exception for the access to a pair of houses e.g.

Yeah, that's another exception. There's a few like that near me. Housing
estate, residential
road, shared driveway to the garages.
