[OSM-talk] highway=residential for rural ways?

[Mike Harris]

AFAIK there is really nothing smaller than unclassified unless it is (a) residential - i.e. houses along a significant part of it and not really a route to anywhere except those houses or a nearby similar road, or (b) an urban 'living street' with pedestrian priority (can't remember how to tag - I have never found one round here and the wiki is nearly dead at the moment so I can't check!), or (c) a track - bearing in mind that a track with tracktype=grade1 could also be surface=paved.
