Again, I'm fine with not creating another tag (like
driveway=pipestem), but the next best thing I can think of is to do
something like operator=123-129 Suburb Street (as that's what's
shown on signs, ugly for parsing), or perhaps I could create a
pipestem

tag driveway=pipeway.
sorry, of course this should read pipestem ;-)

On a side-note, this meaning of 'pipestem' seems to be completely
unknown to the Oxford English Dictionary, despite the fact that they
revised this whole section of the alphabet ('pi-mesic' to 'pleating')
for an update released in June 2006. Perhaps someone should tell them
about it?

How do we differentiate between driveways and pipestems? Pipestems are
common in planned residential developments (at least in the US), where
a number of houses are located off a pipestem, each with their own
driveways. Maintenance of the pipestem is the responsibility of all
the homeowners off
I'm not clear why this is all that different from an alley which might have
garages along it. Creating a new tag here seems like overkill to me.
Couldn't you just use one of the service values (driveway, alley, or just
keep it at service), and add access tag, operator, etc.? I know taxonomies
I need some way to differentiate between pipestems and driveways,
because the distinction between the two are very important for my
community.
Operator and access tags are useful, but they won't help me
differentiate between the two.
I'm not proposing to create a new tag that becomes standard.

to I'll just use my_namespace=pipestem, but I'd rather use something
that could possibly be reused by someone else.

Do you mark the driveways access=private?
The standard for driveways is in fact highway=service service=driveway

It is quite common to do so (currently there are 171710 ways tagged
with service=driveway, which is a quarter of

West Virginia actually maintains and numbers these pipestems under the
Home Access Route Program (example:

Before they were given to the state in the 1990s, they were orphan
roads that were open to the public but not maintained by any

I'd favour access=permissive rather than private.

I don't feel the need to tag access=* on a driveway. It seems that,
wherever I draw a driveway, it's access is the same
I agree about the access issue, by default for a driveway (or sub-type
pipestem :) access should be private, as it's solely intended for the
homeowner(s) to drive and/or park their vehicles. As Elizabeth points
out, yes, it does require routers to check the sub-type to see if it's
a driveway or
Interesting, this is a different definition of pipestem than what I'm
familiar with. Pipestems as I know them (at least in Fairfax County,
Virginia, USA), are a shared driveway leading to two or more houses.
The houses on a pipestem are jointly responsible for maintaining the
road themselves.

Perhaps I could use highway=service, service=driveway, and
driveway=pipestem? Suggestions are welcome!

I know taxonomies are fun, but don't see how pipestem adds much information.
