So what would people map this street as? I'm not sure whether
highway=residential is best - is it just service road?

This is a special case because the narrower road connects with the next
street, but otherwise it looks similar to many modern estates which I've

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

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.
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
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.
