Is it a living street or close enough to map as such?

Lots in continental Europe, though I've not seen them with gates. The 
page above has a UK specific entry saying that they are called "Home 
Zones" Highway code 218. To be squeakily formal it should have some sort 
of version of the blue sign seen in the example photo. I've seen them 
mapped without though.
