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

[John Packer]

Andreas,
Living streets are very rare in Brazil.
I think most of those streets you mentioned are guaranteed to deserve
highway=residential or a higher classification instead.
Indeed some people use highway=living_street with a slightly different
meaning in Brazil, but this can be a bit controversial
