[Talk-br] highway=living_street or residental in Brazilian cities?

[Andreas Schmidt]

Good evening,

while mapping in Itanhém (Bahia), I found all streets in the city,
except the main state street BA-290, tagged as living_street.
Those streets that were missing and I added today, have been tagged as
residental by me, resulting in a city with mixed sort of streets now:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-17.1650/-40.3357

That's unusual for me and I want to ask, which is the usual way to tag
city streets in Brazil?

Here in Germany, a living_street means:
* right of way for pedestrians, who may walk or play on the entire street
* maximum speed 7 km/h
* no parking except dedicated signs allow parking

Most city streets (90-95%) in Europe are residental rather than
living_street.
How is it in Brazil?

kind regards
Andreas
