Given this and previous discussions around tagging access=* on unsigned
driveways, driveway=residential seems like a workable and positive way
forward. driveway=residential is actually verifiable from many
streets/satellite imagery without requiring mappers to enquire about
homeowner preferences and would go a long way toward distinguishing these
from the "public sphere" driveways of businesses/government/etc. As well,
this tagging still allows mappers to tag access=* when signs, conversation,
or other information actually confirms what is allowable.
