Thanks, thats interesting about the centroid. Routers could, in principle, instead choose the road that's closest to the outline of the building. In many cases, that would be different road selection than the centroid. I wish there was some recommended standard all routers used for selecting the correct access road to a building. It would avoid conflicting OSM edits based on how a specific router uses the map data. Maybe a topic to start with the more general OSM community.
