[Talk-GB] UK use of highway=living_street

[Rob Nickerson]

The one I saw the other day was a reasonably long loop road. It would
expect it to either be maintained by the Local Authority or the Housing
Association, but even if it was a non-adopted highway I'm not sure how this
would change my tagging??

Shared access driveways were tarmac in this development. I usually tag
these are highway=service or not map them at all (in cases where they are
short, and I am only using GPS data as no aerial imagery is available).
