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

[Gabriel Teixeira]

Good afternoon,

There is no official classification for living_street in Brazil, so we use
for narrow streets (less than 6m) where there is no clear separation
between pedestrians and car traffic in residential areas, such as streets
in favelas (slums).

Best Regards,
Gabriel
