In OSM terms, I think it would help to clarify what you actually mean by 
"public"?

  * access=yes (which means anyone is legally entitled to go through
    using any means of transport, including driving)
  * access=permissive (as above, but no _legal_ right - the landowners
    just permit it)
  * access=destination (no legal right or through access, but access to
    things on the service road is permitted)

Also there may be cases where motor_vehicle access is "private" but 
foot, bicycle, horse access is "permissive" or "yes".

Best Regards,

Andy
