I'm not sure if this is directed at me or at Mike. If at me, I'll point 
out that the fact we're having this conversation in the first place is 
because someone strongly disagrees with residential driveways being 
access=private "by default". Nor is it the first time I've encountered 
that opinion.

Honestly, my initial opinion on the matter was closer to Mike's, but 
others told me I was wrong.

Even this is not clear. *My* understanding is that most businesses are 
closer to access=permissive, with access=customers referring more to 
places that are explicitly signed as "customers only". In most shopping 
centers, for example, it seems acceptable to go there just to walk 
around even with no intention of purchasing anything. (At least, I know 
that people do so...)
