Hi all,
I've see an increased use of block paving as a road surface on new housing
developments. Example image:

How are people tagging these? At first I wondered about the
highway=living_street tag but the wiki page suggests
Hi Rob,
I know others have mapped as in your first suggestion, but I'm strongly in
favour of the second. Living Streets have particular regulations whereas
modern estate roads (usually cul-de-sacs) do not.
It is sometimes worth ascertaining if the block-paved sections are adopted
highways, where

cases these may just be a shared-access driveway. Not always easy to do
of course.
My impression is that councils are very

I have tended to map sections of residential streets with block paving, no
footways, and either chicanes of just sharp corners to prevent people
driving quickly as living_streets, whether or not they were explicitly
designed as such. These also tend to be exclusively dead-end sections,
rather than
As far as I know for minor roads, I always default to using unclassified or
residential (depending on the surrounding area’s predominant land use). I only
use “Pedestrian” where such sign exists, and “Living streets” for actual home
zones with “home zone” signs, if I ever found one.
Hello,
How should we distinguish the new pedestrian countdown crossings in London?
Should we introduce “crossing_ref=countdown” in conjunction with
“crossing=traffic_signals” as the unified description for such crossings, and
similar ones in other cities?
Hi all,
By coincidence, I've just got home from mapping a home zone
signposted area - first time I've seen one. I'm tagging it as
living_street. Here it is:

I would say do not use the tag just because of seeing block paving on
the street. As far as

and Tallinn, Latvia.

I first encountered them in China about 13 years ago.

Block paving is very common for residential streets in the Netherlands, so
that's not really enough to distinguish a living_street.
I'd keep highway=living_street for (at minimum) single surface, no clear
distinction between where cars and pedestrians go, and no clear straight
route for cars.
