[Tagging] Default access for service=driveway?

[Volker Schmidt]

I fear the default access tagging for driveways without gates is most
likely country-dependant. In England it  certainly it is certainly
"private". People certainly do even not like you backing up
 into the driveway to change direction.

Apart from that, as said earlier in this thread,  when there is a parallel
cycleway or footway to a road, please un-private the bit of driveway that
connects the foot/cycle-way with the  main carriageway.
