David some want to map in a lot of detail. So .. let them.

TheĀ  road in front of my home has a verge. If pushed I would say that is 
landuse=highway as the verge is used, or should be, for foot traffic and 
to provide some safety from motorised transport.

While the road and verge are there to support the residences 
(landuse=residential) I would map the area around the road as 
landuse=highway.

I would do the same for the lane/track between farm fields, while it 
supports the use of the farm it is not a field. Hair splitting. I don't 
actually map to that detail. I have mapped a few farm fields .. and left 
the lane/track areas blank at this stage. I will go back and map in the 
access driveways to the house but I will leave the rest .. if someone 
else wants to do them .. fine.
