To me residential_link doesn't provide any meaningful distinction to warrant a new highway tag. Maybe you misunderstood what link is about. Links are for when collision-less means of joining or leaving high(er) speed traffic are needed. From what I know about your residential_link examples it's

No, I can't think of any real examples at the moment, but that doesn't make them any less existable. And if they exist, then highway=residential_link is more logical than forcing highway=residential and adding link=yes or some other flag to distinguish them. On 2015-11-10 17:19, Mateusz

Many see _link only as slip roads. But using it for at-grade junctions like described in the wiki has one advantage: _link is usually tagged without a name because it connects two named roads and has none itself. Using no link gives many warning in QA tools. Using highway=residential plus

Tom, To avoid key fragmentation? Really? Apparently creating is_link=yes is OK, but using residential_link is wrong. People only cite things like "key fragmentation" when it appears to support their case; it is not really an active Basic Principle of OSM. If it was, there are probably loads

A question recently came up as to whether highway=residential_link is a meaningful tag or whether uses of it should be changed to some other value (like highway=residential or highway=service). This tag has no description in the wiki, though it is analogous to the other highway=*_link types

I am pretty sure that I am one of the mappers that have used residential_link as a highway value in cases where there was a separate way for making a right turn from one residential road to another. If the two roads the connecting way links are tagged as residential I don’t see any other
