I think I am going to go ahead and tag my street as "unclassified". It is about 50/50 residential and offices, with the residences mostly on the west side of the street and the offices mostly on the east side, except for one quarter-mile section that has offices on the west and an Interstate highway (limited-access motorway) on the east. It is along the edge of a large, all-residential neighborhood, and has relatively high traffic volumes, both because of the mixed residential/office usage and also because it forms the only direct link between two arterial roads. As such, it is possible for bicycle use, but not ideal.
