Tag it according to the traffic that runs over it. If the crossing road
is a residential road, tag the part between the two carriageways as
residential. Is it a cycleway, tag it as cycleway.

I think the basic rule can be made as such: if a way crosses another
way, do not change the tagging to match the crossing way.

So the example Klaas gave is IMHO an example of incorrect tagging.
