I'm unsure if this is a good idea. Wouldn't this mean that there's a
short separate sidewalk that runs perpendicular to the real sidewalk?
Wouldn't we consequently have (1) to split a sidewalk at a driveway
and tag a part highway=service + service=driveway and (2) the part of
the driveway inside the carriageway of the residential road
highway=residential?

Example (to be displayed with a fixed-width font):

          ┃  ┆  ┃
          ┃  ┆  ┃ <- driveway
          ┃  ┆  ┃
━━━━━━━━━━┛  ┆  ┗━━━━━━━━━━
┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄11111┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄ <- sidewalk
─────────────┆─────────────
             2
             2
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ <- residential road


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


1: highway=service + service=driveway?

2: highway=residential?
