I think I started the last discussion on this, so I'll wade in! 
Driveways are a bit of a nightmare - there are lots that don't fit 
neatly into one bucket or another.

We did agree that service=driveway, driveway=pipestem was better than 
service=pipestem.

It's probably 6 of one, half a dozen of the other as to whether the ones 
below are all shared driveways. Some could equally be classified as 
private residential roads.

But they could all do with a clean up, one way or the other!

cheers
Tom
