[Talk-us] Should driveways be on OSM?

[Hans De Kryger]

I've always hated when someone maps driveways in residential area's. But
that's just my opinion. Everyone has their opinion on what should and
should not be mapped. Driveways are only fine in urban area's. It makes
sense to me. But otherwise no.
