I think service=driveway should infer access=destination unless
explicitly set otherwise. You should only use access=private where
signed. If you start tagging people's driveways as private then you
also need to use it for any way where there is no legal public right
of way such as in tourist attractions, on private ground, etc. which
makes no sense at all as you just end up with huge amounts of stuff
tagged as private.

If the missing buildings were added then the map would be less
confusing as the purpose of the driveways would then be apparent.
