[Talk-GB] UK use of highway=living_street

[SK53]

Hi Rob,

I know others have mapped as in your first suggestion, but I'm strongly in
favour of the second. Living Streets have particular regulations whereas
modern estate roads (usually cul-de-sacs) do not.

It is sometimes worth ascertaining if the block-paved sections are adopted
highways, where they only occur at the ends of streets. In some cases these
may just be a shared-access driveway. Not always easy to do of course.
